I'm curious as to how good (or bad) my Korean is after 3 years here, so I want to take the TOPIK level 1 test.
Does anyone have a copy of previous test papers, or know where they can be found? I looked on the official TOPIK website, but I couldn't find them.

Thanks

Thanks. I looked on the website, but I couldn't find the papers. Do you know which page they're on?

On the first page to the left click on 시험안내

On that page there will be a quick guide menu to the right, click on 기출문제, there is a picture of a manila folder. That will take you to the files of the past tests.

Good luck!

I heard rumors that Immigration was going to make passing the test a requirement for anyone desiring to stay in Korea for more than two years.

Not sure if that is a good thing or not. I guess I lean toward good.

Doubt it will happen, but it would be interesting.

Yea, but they still want a high turn over for some reason.

They think this is a way to force the turn over.

I really don't think it will happen though.

T-J:

when I clicked on the what you said to click on, I get a WINDOWS MESSAGE (exclamation mark in a yellow triangle with the text "먼저 로그인을 해주세요."). I clicked on that, and the page that came up didn't have the text you gave, nor was there a folder icon. It just had a sign-in form: http://www.topik.or.kr/images/members/login.gif (and when I registered before, I was not given a place to put in a password, and I never got one given to me). Can you help me?
