TOPIK is changing in 2029

The Ministry of Education plans a new TOPIK system from 2029. A trial will run in 2028, and the new plan will be published in June 2027. Artificial intelligence will help to write and mark the questions, and experts will check everything it produces. A "TOPIK home test" will also start, beginning with the lower levels.

Nothing changes in the 2027 tests. The test structure, levels and passing scores stay the same in 2027.

The rules against cheating are also getting stricter. The Ministry is changing the rules so that taking the test for someone else, leaking the test paper or using a forged ID will lead to a 5-year ban from TOPIK. The plan also says that only a physical passport or an alien registration card will be accepted as ID. Always check the ID rules in the official notice for your test.

**Above fee is applicable in Korea only. In other countries, fee is fixed and announced by local authorities.
