How to survive
• Take every TOPIK exam, even if you don't feel ready
•Register early — don't miss the registration deadline
•Practice Questions 53 & 54
•Join a TOPIK preparation class if you can (even if you can't)
•Keep track of your mistakes and progress
•Register for TOPIK IBT as well — it may feel more difficult, but
it could be your last chance to get the score you need.
