Here are the dates for this year's semesters/tests:

For those doing level 5, the final test isn't until the end of April.

I still can't sign up for classes though. I'm in Seoul; I did level 4 at Ewha.

thatkidpercy, where are you located (if you don't mind me asking)?

If I remember right, you sign up using the 과정신청 tab? Or is there another way to register for a class? No classes come up when I try searching.

Hey percy, furtakk, other folks~

I took Level 4 online in the fall.. It was my first level. The online classes start a few weeks late and end a few weeks late as well..

As my teacher explained, it seemed that there was a test in early November, for the people who had just finished level 4... We didn't finish until the end of November so we were unable to write that test.


1 - For the others who have finished level 4... Did you write a test right afterwards? What is that test like? I think was called 중간평가, interim assessment... Is it like the placement test?


2 - As my teacher explained, I can start level 5 before writing the interim assessment test. But, I need to write the test before I *finish* level 5. So I need to sign up for a Level 5 course that finishes after the interim test. Anyone else know about this?


Mostly looking for info on any 중간평가 you guys might have written.

[Daniel1981]

Hmmm. Looking at furtakk's link, it looks like the 중간평가 is May 25. It also appears as though the first term is likely to finish before that date, in which case I will have to sign up for Level 5 courses in the second term.


I wonder what that 중간평가 is like.. I wrote the placement test in July 2012. It was an hour long, with a bunch of multiple choice questions and a speaking demonstration at the end.

How does that compare to the 중간평가?

Any tips on how to prepare for the 중간 test?

If you have a F visa, should you register under "등록외국인". Everytime I try it says the name or number doesn't match.

[furtakk]

Nope. Still nothing. I'm going to give my teacher a call tomorrow to see if she knows.

I doubt registration for courses will begin before the first pre-assessment test of the year. Probably a week or so after the results for that test are released.

I studied really hard for the Final Test including a lot about the cultural aspects of Korea. This was all in vain as there were only about 3 questions or so related to culture and history. Most of it was grammar related and there were also a few about which organizations handle certain issues (forgot the exact questions). Basically the 2-3 months of Studying the Intergration Program is purely to gain more knowledge about Korea. If your Korean level is good enough, you'll pass.

So i am applying for the placement test ... all I did was registering at 사회통합프로그램 신청 tab at socinet. Now when I click on 평가신청 this line appears:
2013 사전평가 2013년 사전평가 1차 2013.01.10 ~ 2013.02.01 2013.02.16 13:00

does that mean I am done with my registration ? what about exam location ? and when is the exam ticket gonna be available ? I feel like I am in the dark here !

[jaeexp]

yup, done.

They'll message you literally a couple of days before the test to give you time and location details.
