Sample questions from the korean test
Real items from the test bank — one per level band. The full test adapts from A1 to C1.
저___ 한국 사람이에요.
- 1은
- 2가
- 3를
- 4는
Show answer
Correct: 는
The topic particle 은/는 chooses its form by the noun's final sound: 저 ends in a vowel, so it takes 는 ("저는" = as for me). 은 attaches only after a consonant, and 가/를 are subject/object particles.
존경 표현입니다. 빈칸에 들어갈 높임 주격 조사를 쓰세요: 할아버지___ 신문을 읽으세요. (이/가 → 높임 형태)
- 1께서
- 2이
- 3가
- 4에서
Show answer
Correct: 께서
When the subject is an honored person, the plain subject particle 이/가 is replaced by the honorific 께서: "할아버지께서 신문을 읽으세요" = Grandfather reads the newspaper. Single eojeol, no internal space; 께서 differs from 이/가/에서 by entirely distinct jamo, so the grader decides it cleanly.
과거 반사실 가정 -았/었더라면을 쓰세요 (동사 "알다" + -았더라면): 그 사실을 미리 ___ 이런 실수는 안 했을 거예요. (알- + -았더라면).
- 1알았더라면
- 2알면
- 3알았으면
- 4알아서
Show answer
Correct: 알았더라면
-았/었더라면 is the past counterfactual ("if only I had…"): "미리 알았더라면 이런 실수는 안 했을 거예요" = had I known earlier, I wouldn't have made this mistake. The plain conditional 알면/알았으면 is weaker; -더라면 carries the explicit irrealis "had". One space-free eojeol, jamo-distinct from each distractor.

Methodology
This Korean grammar test contains 50 items (10 at A1, 10 at A2, 10 at B1, 10 at B2, 10 at C1), ordered from A1 to C1 and drawn from the same item bank used inside the Lenguia study-plan product.
Scoring uses a pass-threshold model: each CEFR level is "passed" when you earn roughly two-thirds of its available points, and your result is the highest level you pass consecutively starting from A1. This rewards consistent competence rather than lucky guesses. Results range from A1 to C1 (the test does not grade C2).
The items are informed by the competency descriptors of the Council of Europe CEFR framework. This is a free self-assessment: results are a reliable orientation, not a certified proficiency measurement.
The competency descriptors follow the Council of Europe CEFR framework.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this Korean grammar test?
It uses the same item bank and pass-threshold scoring as the placement engine inside Lenguia's study-plan product, so the CEFR estimate is consistent and repeatable. Like any online self-assessment it is an orientation, not an official certificate.
Is it really free? Do I need an account?
Yes — the full test, the result and the shareable certificate are free, with no signup. If you create an account afterwards, your result can be used to build a personalized study plan.
What levels can I get?
A1, A2, B1, B2 or C1. A level counts as reached when you earn roughly two-thirds of its points and have passed every level below it. C2 is not graded.
Can I retake the test?
Yes, as often as you like. Questions within each level are shuffled, and your latest result replaces the previous one on this device.
