TOPIK – II: Intermediate Level Vocabulary
As you know, the new TOPIK format, Intermediate and Advanced
level tests have been combined into one test, named - TOPIK-II.
The test takers will be assigned a level between 4 and 6, based
on their score. The exact passing scores for different levels has not
been fixed yet. They will use a system of cut-off mark or something.
The main thing to understand here is that the Intermediate and
advanced levels are in one test now, which means the test paper
will have questions of different difficulty levels. Some questions will
be comparatively easier so that Intermediate level aspirants could
solve them while some difficult questions will be aimed at
Advanced level aspirants. So, if you are aiming for just level 3 or
4, you don’t need to spend time on studying advanced level

vocabulary and grammar. Instead you can just focus on
Intermediate level study material and try to master them.
That’s the reason why we have kept the Intermediate and
Advanced level grammar and vocabulary material separate
despite their being the combined paper. In this eBook we have
arranged some important vocabulary that you need to know in
order to clear Intermediate level TOPIK. Though studying the
advanced level vocabulary as well will definitely improve your
score, it’s not necessary. But if you are appearing for TOPIK level
5 or 6, you must study both Intermediate and Advanced level
study material.
All the Best!
