Scores Are Valid for 2 Years
TOPIK scores are valid for two years from the results release date. If you plan to use your score for university admission, employment, or a visa application, make sure it will still be valid at the time of submission. Once it expires, you will need to take the test again.
Getting Your Score Certificate
Score certificates can be issued online at topik.go.kr. Since universities and institutions may require different submission formats, check the recipient's requirements before printing. Issuance and delivery procedures abroad can vary by region, so confirm with the official guidance.
If You Missed Your Target Level
If you fell short of your target level, start by checking the registration window for the next session, then analyze which section held you back. Your section-by-section scores make it clear whether listening, reading, or writing deserves the most study time.
