NAATI CCL Korean practice test: 95 dialogues, mock tests and vocabulary

Read 95 dialogue transcripts, including 92 with reference answers, without an account. The vocabulary pages and the worked examples below are also free to read. Your first 2 dialogues are marked free; sign in to see your score. Those same unused free dialogues can cover one two-dialogue mock if you start with a mock.

The English surgery instruction distinguishes no solid food after midnight from permission for clear fluids until 6am. The Korean reply asks about morning blood-pressure medicine; it does not say to stop it. Keep the question as a question. In the shop scene, the online price and the amount charged belong to different sources.

NAATI's general policies apply: examiners allow for regional variation (Policy A), and English words that Korean speakers in Australia regularly and commonly use are not penalised (Policy B). Excessive use of English is still one of NAATI's listed common mistakes.

NAATI tests high-demand languages every month and the others at least 4 times a year, and bookings close 1 week before each session. As of 12 Nov 2026, 11:00 AM (Sydney time), NAATI lists 9 upcoming Korean sessions, 9 of them with seats; the next one with seats is Wed 25 Nov 2026. The current list is at naaticcl.com/naati-ccl-test-dates/korean: we check it every 2 hours, and NAATI updates its own list about once a day.

Yes. Korean is one of the languages NAATI tests for the CCL. Passing can support a claim for 5 points towards your skilled migration score. We currently publish 95 Korean practice dialogues.

The test. This page is for the CCL test, which can support a claim for 5 points on a skilled migration score but does not qualify you to work as an interpreter or translator. If you need a document translated, see how to find a NAATI certified translator.

Not necessarily. naaticcl.com is a self-practice site, not a coaching class: you work through the 95 Korean dialogues and 46 mock tests on your own, at exam speed, and the AI marks each segment for what you kept, left out, changed or added. A class adds a teacher who listens and corrects you. Class packages we saw listed on 6 November 2026 ran from about $250 to about $700. The score here is our estimate, not a NAATI result.

63 out of 90, and at least 29 on each of the two dialogues. Marks come off for information you leave out, add, or change, and for language quality. We mark against the same published categories; the score is our own model's estimate, not a NAATI result.

Speaking Korean at home is not enough. You carry every detail across at speed, in both directions, and marks come off for each omission or change. You need 29 of 45 in each dialogue as well as 63 of 90 overall, so one weak dialogue can fail you. More in is NAATI CCL hard.

NAATI publishes no preparation time and there are no training prerequisites. Try your two free dialogues first, because the score shows how far off you are, then use the 4-week study plan.

Yes. All CCL tests are online, and NAATI accepts a current passport from any country. Session times are listed in Sydney and Melbourne time, so check your own time zone. More in taking the CCL from overseas.

You can apply again and pay the test fee again. If you fail with 58 or higher, you can apply for a review within 30 days of your result for AUD $187: a separate examiner marks your test again. More in NAATI CCL review and resit.

AUD $814 (NAATI fees for 1 July 2026 – 30 June 2027), and you do not know the result until NAATI finalises it. That is the whole reason this site exists: know where you stand before you pay to sit it.

No — no headsets, headphones or earphones of any kind. You use the computer's speakers and microphone. Older guides that tell you to wear wired headphones will get you caught out on the day. Only one screen is allowed at any time; your phone or tablet acts as the second camera.

Yes, with a pen and loose sheets of paper only. No typing of notes, and no electronic resources — dictionaries, web browsing, live captions or transcription — during the test.

Yes. One repeated segment per dialogue is allowed without penalty. Further repeats incur mark deductions.

NAATI's candidate instructions say results come by email within 4–6 weeks; they are issued individually as they are finalised, so two people who sat on the same day can hear back on different days. The result is valid for five years from the date of issue (three years if issued before 9 August 2022) and cannot be extended. You can apply to sit again six months before expiry, according to NAATI’s FAQ.

Yes. Credentialed Community Language points remain in the 189, 190 and 491 points tests. CCL is not a professional interpreting credential — passing it does not qualify you to work as an interpreter.
