KIIP Level-Test Guide (사회통합프로그램 사전평가 안내)

Kiip level test guide
KIIP Pre-test or Level test (사회통합프로그램 사전평가) is the placement test that assesses the applicant's Korean proficiency to place him/her into the right level of the program. 

There are currently two methods of KIIP level tests being conducted simultaneously:

> Paper-based tests (PBT사전평가) are conducted around 10 times/year. The test is available on weekends in all regions in Korea. Some special level tests that only certain VISA types such as E-9 and C-3-8 can apply are sometimes conducted. 

> Computer-based tests (CBT사전평가) are operated from 2022. Unlike the PBT level tests, the CBT level tests are available on weekdays in 2 test centers at Gwangmyeong city (광명시) and Daejeon city (대전시) only. However, its test schedule is more flexible around 20 times/month.
