1. Registration and Rules
Before you dive in, make sure to read the Rules and Regulations of the KGL Contest carefully (link). When registering, remember you must select the level that corresponds to your current English proficiency. Failure to register at the appropriate level will result in disqualification.

Stage 2 is a more comprehensive challenge. It includes multiple-choice, listening, reading, and writing. The duration of Stage 2 varies based on your level, ranging from 60 to 90 minutes.
