Test-Day Essentials (Short List)
- Check official notices first (PBT/IBT rules, ID, allowed items). NIIED(EN) → niied.go.kr, TOPIK → topik.go.kr
- Pack the night before (ID, admission proof, allowed writing tools), arrive early, and run a 7-minute warm-up (breath 4-4-6 → short notice aloud → option scan).
- Pacing: Listening → options → contrast → numbers/time → intent. Reading → title → first/last → questions → re-read. Writing(II) → outline first.
