Challenge

Get familiar with AS MUCH vocab, grammar, and expressions as you possibly can related to these subjects before the test.

  1. You may be able to do a Google Search to find some good lists in each category
  2. OR you could buy the TOPIK Writing book that I have
  3. OR you could join our GIVEAWAY for the NEW Themed vocab book from Tuttle Publishing
  4. 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.
