We get so many e-mails from TOPIK GUIDE readers asking ‘what is the best guide book for TOPIK test preparation’. generally these question is asked by those appearing in the TOPIK test for the first time but there are mails from Intermediate and advanced level test takers as well.
Short Answer: If you are preparing for TOPIK I, choose the TOPIK I Complete Package. It guides you from scratch and gives you all the study material that you need. If you are preparing for TOPIK II, choose the TOPIK II Complete Package.
You are right. These courses and study material have been prepared by our own experts but that is not the reason why we are recommending them to you. They are just the best among what is available in the market.
We have checked almost all the guide books available for TOPIK test in the bookstores of Seoul to answer this question. After anayzing TOPIK preparation books from 3-4 major publishers, this is the conclusion that we reached:
- Most of the books are either completely in Korean or have very little English. They may be good for people who are preparing for level 4 or higher but for other test takers, we don’t think they will be much helpful.
- Most of the books just have a collection of questions from previous TOPIK papers with answers and brief explanations. The explanations seemed written by native Korean and as we thing they are too complex for foreigner learners.
- There are separate books for different levels and sections. So you might have to purchase 2 or more books for each level and almost all the books are priced higher than $15. So you will have to spend more than $100 if you want to buy books for all TOPIK levels .
We couldn’t find a single book that has all the content and information required to pass TOPIK test. That is the reason why we created the TOPIK GUIDE courses and packages. If you are not sure whether a package suits your needs, you do not need to worry. Every course and package has a 14-day money-back guarantee.
