Challenge
Get familiar with AS MUCH vocab, grammar, and expressions as you possibly can related to these subjects before the test.
- You may be able to do a Google Search to find some good lists in each category
- OR you could buy the TOPIK Writing book that I have
- OR you could join our GIVEAWAY for the NEW Themed vocab book from Tuttle Publishing
- OR you could just go and buy the book from Tuttle yourself
But, one thing is for certain – he with the most vocab on the test – WINS. (Or at least does significantly better than he would have without cracking down on the vocab study.)
Over to you:
How’s your vocab study going? I’ve gone through 30 days at 30 words per day – (that’s 900 new words I’ve studied since starting!). Let me know how your studying is going on social media with #120TOPIK or in the Comments below.
