HSK exam in China possibile during brief stop-over

[Scoobyqueen]

Does anyone know if it is possible to take the HSK exam in China if you are only staying for a few weeks?

I would like to take the HSK intermediate in Beijing in December and also have difficulty finding the exact date. If anyone knows when that it I would be grateful.

Yes I think it is very possible

Tons of Korean's come to Nanjing to take the HSK (there are cheap direct flights).

I think also some of them figure they can bend the rules slightly at the Chinese test centers (starting the test while the directions are being read out, switching sections (helpful in the reading section which is long for a short time).

Also Nanjing is a good cheap place to party with lots of decent Korean restaurants.

So go ahead they do it so you should.

Also people from other parts of China fly in, I met a vietnamese student who flew up from Guilin where she was studying.

So good luck on the test,

have fun,

Simon:)
