Intermediate Korean Course [Final Exam] and [Certificate of Completion]

안녕하세요~! 토미입니다!

This time, I would like to explain the most significant part of the intermediate Korean course series: The Final Exam!

If you have been learning Korean through my courses, you have studied approximately 120 videos, including the preparatory, beginner, and intermediate levels. 

WOW! That is a tremendous amount of information!

I know you want to organize what you have learned so far and check your Korean level. 

That’s why I made this final exam. 

Upon passing the exam, you will receive a certificate of completion for the intermediate level. Here, you will find detailed information on how to take the exam, the criteria for passing, and the process for issuing the certificate.

Essentially, the process is similar to the final exam for the beginner level; however, reviewing all the information here will help you proceed more smoothly. OK?

그럼 시작할게요!

Contents of the final exam

The Intermediate Final Exam is designed to be a miniature version of TOPIK II, level 4. It consists of 20 listening questions and 20 reading questions. Two main features distinguish it from previous grammar tests.

Feature 1: There is a listening test

It includes image selection questions, similar to TOPIK. You will be asked to demonstrate your understanding of Korean words not only as written text but also in the context of situations and scenes.

Feature 2: There is a passing criterion.

As this is an exam, there are pass/fail criteria. The passing criterion is 90% or higher. Since each question is worth the same, you must answer at least 36 out of 40 questions correctly to pass. However, if you do not pass on the first attempt, you may try again until you succeed.

So, never ever give up on this exam!

The exam has a 60-minute time limit. Although there is no automatic time-tracking system, you are responsible for monitoring your own time. Please refrain from referring to textbooks or using online translators during the exam. Try to solve the problems on your own.
