TOPIK registration happens entirely in Korean on the official site, weeks before test day, and popular test centers can fill up within the first day or two. A short list of words covers the registration period, picking a center, the photo upload, payment, and printing the ticket that gets a test taker into the room.
Checking the Registration Period
Korean | Pronunciation | Meaning |
접수 기간이 언제예요? | jeop-ssu gi-ga-ni eon-je-ye-yo | When is the registration period? |
마감됐어요 | ma-gam-dwae-sseo-yo | It's closed |
접수 기간이 언제예요? is worth asking a Korean-speaking friend, or checking the official TOPIK site, well before the window opens, since registration for a given test date runs for about a week. If that window is missed, 마감됐어요 is the word that shows up next to a session on the site, meaning registration for it is closed.
Choosing a Test Center
Korean | Pronunciation | Meaning |
시험장 선택 | si-heom-jang seon-taek | Test center selection |
자리가 없어요 | ja-ri-ga eop-sseo-yo | There are no spots left |
시험장 선택 is the screen where a test taker picks a city and a specific test center after choosing TOPIK I or TOPIK II. Large cities have more center options, but popular ones can still show 자리가 없어요 within the first day or two of registration, so it helps to have a backup center in mind before logging in.
Uploading Your Photo
Korean | Pronunciation | Meaning |
사진 등록 | sa-jin deung-nok | Photo registration |
사진 규격이 맞아요? | sa-jin gyu-gyeo-gi ma-ja-yo | Does the photo meet the size requirements? |
사진 등록 is a required step, and the site is strict about it, wanting a recent color photo with a plain background, taken within the last several months, sized to an exact width and height in centimeters. 사진 규격이 맞아요? is worth asking before uploading, since a photo that's the wrong size or shows an old face can cause problems checking in on test day.
Paying the Fee
Korean | Pronunciation | Meaning |
결제 방법을 선택하세요 | gyeol-jje bang-beo-beul seon-tae-ka-se-yo | Please select a payment method |
입금 확인됐어요? | ip-kkeum hwa-gin-dwae-sseo-yo | Has the deposit been confirmed? |
결제 방법을 선택하세요 appears after the test center and photo are locked in, usually offering a card payment or a bank transfer to a one-time virtual account. Card payment confirms right away, but a bank transfer can take a little longer to process, so 입금 확인됐어요? is a fair question if the registration status doesn't update immediately.
Printing the Admission Ticket
Korean | Pronunciation | Meaning |
수험표를 출력하세요 | su-heom-pyo-reul chul-lyeo-ka-se-yo | Please print your admission ticket |
Once payment goes through, registration isn't finished until 수험표를 출력하세요 becomes an active button, closer to the actual test date. That ticket, along with a valid photo ID, is what gets checked at the door, so it's worth printing a day or two early instead of waiting until the morning of the test.
Between checking the registration window, picking a center, uploading a photo, and printing the ticket, that covers the paperwork side of TOPIK before the actual test begins.
