Hot TOPIK II Writing

Book Introduction

Although the TOPIK writing section consists of only four questions, it is considered one of the most difficult parts of the exam because all answers must be written by the test taker.

To address this challenge, HOT TOPIK II provides an in-depth analysis of the latest TOPIK writing trends, helping learners study the writing section more effectively and systematically.

Since its first publication two years ago, the book has been continuously updated through research on recent exam trends, leading to the release of this newly revised edition.
