See the official G-TELP schedule for the most current information. Each group's registration and result dates are fixed and should be checked before booking. The table above preserves the provider's groupings and administrative context, rather than listing dates without their attached rules.

Registration windows

Register for your chosen test group during its specific window. Each group offers a regular registration period, followed by a higher-priced additional registration. For the 13 December test, regular registration is 20,27 November, with additional registration until 2 December. For the 27 December test, regular registration is 4,11 December, with additional registration until 16 December.

Admission tickets are released on 7 December (for 13 December test) and 21 December (for 27 December test). Download your ticket before test day to confirm your venue and seat. Admission tickets are essential for entry and contain your assigned location and candidate details.

Practical tip: Create your G-TELP account early to resolve any identity, payment, or recipient issues before the registration window closes. Save your application number and receipt. If the provider offers a change or cancellation window, record its cutoff separately.

Fees and product choice

The current fee for G-TELP Level 2 in Korea is KRW 69,300 during regular registration and KRW 74,100 during additional registration. Always check the product name and fee at the time of booking, as other G-TELP products (such as those including speaking or writing) may have different prices and result types.

  • Do not select a cheaper or different G-TELP product unless your receiver explicitly accepts it.
  • Late registration only buys a later booking opportunity, not a better result or higher score.
  • The fee is for the named country and route; other countries or institutional products may differ.

See more about fees and product choice.

What the test measures

G-TELP Level 2 is a 90-minute test covering three sections: grammar, listening, and reading. It does not directly assess speaking or writing. Candidates must confirm that this product matches the requirements of the employer, university, or authority receiving the result.

  • Listening and reading scores are not accepted as proof of speaking ability unless the receiver explicitly states so.
  • If your receiver requires a speaking score, you must take a product that includes a speaking section or provide additional evidence as required by the receiver.

Component breakdown:

  • Grammar: Multiple-choice questions testing English grammar knowledge.
  • Listening: Audio-based comprehension questions.
  • Reading: Passages with comprehension and analysis questions.

Preparation: Read the official candidate guide and sample questions from the test provider. Use SpeakShark for general spoken English practice, but rely on official G-TELP materials for test-specific preparation.

Result timing

Results are published on fixed dates for each group:

  • 13 December group: Results released 18 December at 15:00
  • 27 December group: Results released 30 December at 15:00

These dates are published on the official G-TELP schedule. Always confirm your result date before making plans for job or university applications. Add time for portal access, electronic delivery, and receiver matching. A result visible to you may not be immediately verified by your receiver.

Tip: Keep your score report and sending confirmation. Use the same name and identification number across all systems to avoid delays.

Receiver rules come first

The receiver (employer, university, regulator, or authority) decides if your G-TELP result is valid for their purpose. The test provider issues the result, but does not guarantee acceptance. Always check the official test or receiver requirements before booking.

Ask your receiver for these six fields:

  1. Exact product accepted
  2. Total score required
  3. Section minimums (if any)
  4. Accepted test dates
  5. Allowed combinations (if multiple sittings are permitted)
  6. Delivery and verification method

Do not privately convert from another test unless the receiver publishes that conversion.

Test day and identity checks

  • Open your personal admission ticket (not just the public calendar) for venue, arrival time, and identity requirements.
  • Check which forms of ID are accepted, prohibited devices, and photograph rules.
  • Names must match your ID exactly.
  • Plan your transport to arrive before the required check-in time (which is usually earlier than the published start time).
  • Keep support contact details available offline in case you cannot access your account on the journey.

Tip: Save a dated copy of your confirmation and the exact page or rule you used. Reopen the primary source shortly before payment, travel, or submission.

Decision examples

Example 1: University application deadline

You need a G-TELP result before 29 December 2026 for a university application. The 13 December test group releases results on 18 December, while the 27 December group releases results on 30 December. Choose the 13 December group to ensure your result is available before your deadline.

Example 2: Employer requires minimum section scores

Your employer requires a minimum score in each section (grammar, listening, reading) and only accepts results from tests taken after 1 December 2026. Both December test groups are valid, but you must check if your employer will accept a result released on 30 December (from the 27 December test) if your employment paperwork is due before year-end.

Example 3: Late registration

You missed regular registration for the 13 December test, but additional registration is still open until 2 December. You can still register, but the fee increases to KRW 74,100. If you also miss this window, your only remaining option is the 27 December group.

Practice drills for G-TELP candidates

While G-TELP Level 2 does not test speaking, strong communication skills help in interviews and follow-up conversations. Use these drills to build confidence and fluency:

Drill 1: Explaining your test plan

  • Practice describing your chosen test date, registration process, and result timing aloud in English.
  • Example prompt: "I am taking the G-TELP Level 2 test on 13 December. I registered during the regular window and will receive my result on 18 December."

Drill 2: Answering receiver questions

  • Simulate a conversation where you explain your test choice and result to an employer or university official.
  • Example prompt: "My G-TELP Level 2 result will be available on 30 December. Will this meet your application deadline?"

Drill 3: Grammar and listening review

  • Use official G-TELP sample questions for grammar and listening.
  • After answering, explain your reasoning aloud: "I chose this answer because..."

Drill 4: Practice under time pressure

  • Set a timer for 90 minutes and complete a full-length practice test (grammar, listening, reading).
  • Afterward, summarize your experience in English: "I found the listening section most challenging because..."

Drill 5: Self-introduction for test day

  • Prepare a brief self-introduction in English to use if asked at the test center.
  • Example: "Hello, my name is [Name]. I am here for the G-TELP Level 2 test. My registration number is..."

For more structured speaking practice, use job interview role plays, office small talk, and phone conversation drills. Start a free SpeakShark session for daily practice.

Limitations and common pitfalls

  • Test dates and centers are not guaranteed until you receive a personal confirmation. Availability, capacity, and result timing can change.
  • General speaking practice does not replace official test preparation. Use official G-TELP materials for format and content.
  • Do not assume a result from another test or date will be accepted unless confirmed by your receiver.
  • Identity mismatches, payment issues, and late registration can delay or prevent your test booking. Resolve these early.
  • A public calendar is not a booking confirmation. Only the provider's confirmation guarantees your seat.
  • Do not average scores, combine test sittings, or transfer rules from another program unless the published policy allows it.
  • Leave time for corrections: Plan for at least one correction cycle in case of errors with identity, payment, or score delivery.

Start free speaking practice.

Use speaking apps, Versant question types, assessment setup, Versant score levels, clinical speaking for doctors, clinical speaking for nurses, healthcare role plays and adult conversation topics. Select only what matches the measured weakness.

FAQ

What are the G-TELP test dates in South Korea in December 2026?
The official calendar checked on September 28 contains 2 published date groups. It begins with 13 December at 15:00 and ends with 27 December at 15:00. The detailed table on this page preserves the registration and result timing attached to each group rather than listing dates without their administrative context.
How much does G-TELP cost?
The current price reference is KRW 69,300 regular or KRW 74,100 during additional registration. That amount belongs to the named country and application route. Discounts, late registration, taxes, group bookings, partial subtests, or another national administrator can change the total, so the live checkout remains authoritative before payment.
What does G-TELP test?
The current format is a 90 minute Level 2 test with grammar, listening and reading. Candidates should confirm that this exact product matches the employer, university, regulator, immigration authority, or certification route receiving the result. A familiar brand name does not make its listening, reading, speaking and writing products interchangeable.
Can I use a result from another test date?
Only the receiving organisation can answer that question. Check its accepted product, minimum score, section requirements, result age, combination rule, delivery mode, and verification method. The test provider issues the result, but the receiver decides whether that result satisfies the application or employment requirement.
Are the dates and centres guaranteed?
No. This article is a dated reading of the official calendar. Test centres, capacity, application status, additional registration, and result timing can change. A booking becomes personal only after the provider accepts the application and payment and issues a confirmation with the candidate's date and location.
Does general speaking practice replace official test preparation?
No. General conversation can improve fluency, clarity and confidence, but it does not teach confidential questions, issue a score, or replace official familiarisation material. Candidates should use the test owner's samples for format and use independent speaking practice only for broader communication ability.
