How to Pass the EPS or Korean Language

Most of the test takers seek advice on how to pass the test in EPS  or also known as KOREAN LANGUAGE TEST to be able to land a job here in Korea after successfully passing it... I was once an EPS TEST TAKER last 2010 and i was able to successfully pass the Korean Test and Now i am working here in Korea..  I actually didn't go to a review  center to study Korean Language. How did i do it?... Here are my personal steps before taking the test:


    1. FIRST YOU MUST HAVE A BASIC KNOWLEDGE IN KOREAN:  This is actually very important you must be able to know the Basis Korean Alphabet this will begin your interest in studying Korean language: You may Google or Watch it on Youtube, nowadays all of these can be found on the internet at least you don't need to go to a review center anymore.
    2. PRINT THE REVIEW MATERIALS: You may choose to print the review materials under this  site  http://epsklt.hrdkorea.or.kr/eps_klt/servlet/ContentManager; I actually did this before i printed the reviewers  for reading and i studied it by taking some points and remembering the answers without actually comprehending the question.  Well, this would be the same material you will receive when you choose to review in Korean Language Center.. :)
    3. KNOW THE BASIC WAY OF COUNTING NUMBERS: There are actually two ways of counting in Korean Language:  http://www.koreanfluent.com/cross_cultural/korean_numbers/korean_numbers.htm this is actually important also because most of the test takers don't know the numbering. As i observed when i took the test most of them were already finished during the test while it is not yet even half  because most of them got a problem in counting numbers and repeating questions.
    4. REVIEW ALL YOUR MATERIALS: Most of the test takers review their materials only in half bake and neglecting the last pages.. As i did this also so i don't want you my dear readers to experience this, because during our exams most of the tests are taken from the last few pages of the test... hehehe :) SO BE SURE TO REVIEW IT ALL THE WAY!!!
    5. TEST TIME: There are actually two set of tests Listening and Reading. Listening will be given first for 25 questions and to be followed  by Reading for also 25 questions. Reading has time limit be sure to finish it before the time is over. That is why you must at least get some cuing during your review time. 
    6. DURING TEST TIME:  Relax and do not in hurry, During Listening; you have to listen very carefully to the instructions do not answer immediately as you cannot omit it anymore so always be sure with your answer. 
    7. LASTLY, DON'T GET NERVOUS; YOU ONLY HAVE TO GET AT LEAST 20 POINTS TO BE ABLE TO PASS THE EPS TEST.




Blog's note: These tips are all my experience during my first EPS test in 2010 so if there are some changes in set of questions and passing score please feel free to leave your comments,
