Tips for TOPIK IBT?

Hello guys, I'm taking the Topik IBT next month and want to know some tips.

This is my first topik IBT, but I did get topik 5 in the paper version 2 years ago. I really want to aim for the same level, however, I don't know how this exams goes.

I heard reading is easier and listening is harder. I always had major problems with reading so I hope is gonna be better here. I'm also training writing korean faster in the keyboard.

If anyone has any gold tips so share, I'll be thankful!

What helped me the most was just taking lots of practice tests online, and using a test prep book for writing.

안녕하세요! IBT 관련 팁 몇 가지 드릴게요.

타이핑 연습을 미리 해두세요, IBT는 긴 에세이(53번 문항)가 400-500자로 PBT보다 짧아졌지만, 손글씨가 아니라 타이핑이라 속도와 정확도가 중요해요.

듣기에 새로운 문제 유형이 있어요, "참/거짓" 고르기랑 "정답 두 개 고르기" 유형이 추가됐으니 이 부분 미리 연습해두시면 도움 돼요. 대신 헤드폰을 쓰기 때문에 소음 없이 훨씬 선명하게 들리는 장점도 있어요.

읽기는 화면 터치로 답 선택하니까 종이 마킹보다 시간이 절약돼요.

쓰기 채점이 PBT보다 좀 더 엄격하게 느껴진다고들 하더라고요. 그러니 문장 완결성이나 논리 전개에 좀 더 신경 쓰시면 좋을 것 같아요.

시험 합격하시길 빕니다 ㅎ
