Commencing the language unit

Please note that the Language Entry Test does not measure some important aspects of competence such as oral skills, and results may be biased if you are very strong in one area and weaker in others. It is therefore important that you sample the content of the unit you are recommended to enrol in and speak with the Korean Studies Coordinator if you believe you have been assigned to a unit which is either too high or too low.
