What "UBT practice" means on this site

We use "UBT practice" for practising Korean test questions on a computer or phone screen: choosing answers by clicking, moving between questions, playing listening clips and watching a timer. Our practice sets prepare you for EPS-TOPIK and TOPIK I. Each set page tells you which exam it is for.

Our screen is a practice tool, not a copy of any official test centre system. The real interface may look different, and you should always follow the instructions given on the day.

How the practice screen works

  • Two modes. Learning mode has no timer and unlimited audio replays. Timed mode has a visible countdown and limited audio plays, like a real test.
  • Question list. Numbered buttons show which questions you have answered and which you have flagged for review.
  • Autosave. Every answer is saved on your device immediately and to our server every few seconds. If you refresh or lose your connection, you can continue where you stopped.
  • Submit check. Before you submit, you see how many questions are unanswered and must confirm.
  • Review. After submitting you see your score, every explanation, listening transcripts and lessons for the topics you missed.

Before a listening set

Use headphones, check the volume before the timer starts, and sit somewhere quiet. Our headphone checklist takes two minutes.
