For TOPIK II writing, questions 51–54
You can study grammar alone. You cannot mark your own essay. Sseudam marks every answer against the official TOPIK rubric, shows you what to change, and remembers the mistakes you keep making.

Reading and listening have answer keys. Writing has a marker, and you do not have one.
“My Korean friend said it looks fine.”
A native speaker can hear what sounds odd. Almost nobody can mark content, structure and language the way the exam does.
“I asked an AI and got 80. I asked again and got 65.”
A score you cannot check twice is not a score. You end up guessing what to fix.
Not a vague grade out of ten. The three official criteria, an estimated band, and every sentence you got wrong rewritten with the reason.
Exam marks 20.4 / 30
Around TOPIK level 4 — the data is described, the language holds you back.
자료에 따르면 1인 가구 비율은 2000년 15%에서 2020년 32%로 크게 늘었습니다. 증가의 원인은 결혼을 안 하는 사람이 늘어난 것과 고령화로 볼 수 있다.
늘었습니다 → 늘었다
Q53 is graded in the plain written style. Polite spoken endings cost language marks.
Good structure, but the language slips into spoken forms that cost points on Q53. Fix the register and this jumps a full band.
Drop the spoken endings in Q53.
늘었습니다 → 늘었다 — Q53/54 are graded in the plain written style.
Name the cause before you describe the trend.
State what drove the change, then use the numbers to back it up.
A practice estimate on the official rubric — not an official TOPIK score.
A grade tells you how you did. It does not tell you that you have now written the same wrong ending four times. Sseudam keeps count.
