nicefreak Posted March 17, 2009 at 04:14 PM Report Posted March 17, 2009 at 04:14 PM I am taking the ChuZhong HSK in April and hope that you guys can help me to clarify one question: The HSK Test has 400 points, but only 170 questions. How do those points fit to those questions? A friend of mine suggested that since the test (old version) has four parts (listening, grammar, reading comprehension and "zonghe"), you can reach 100 points in each part. This sounds pretty reasonable to me. Can anyone confirm this? He further suggested, that within those parts, subdivisions will be weighed differently. For example the first part (listening comprehension) has 3 sub-parts (one line by a person, a short conversation, a short sort of newspaper article). According to the friend of mine, the first sub-part counts for one, the second double, the third triple. The other parts are also weighted, but in a different ratio for each part. Can anyone confirm this? Do you have the exact weighting? Thanks a lot!! Quote
Senzhi Posted March 17, 2009 at 07:09 PM Report Posted March 17, 2009 at 07:09 PM Not answering your query, but still ... As a teacher, and even more out of personal experience as a lifelong student, I can only advise you not to focus too much on ways of marking tests. Unless you're more interested in maths. As a teacher, I constantly develop different ways of marking tests, so that students are unable to find a strategy. Of course !!!! Just do your best, with the skills you have. It's the only way you'll see yourself progress. Because in the end, it's not the mark that counts, it's what you can do. Not even what you cannot do. Reallly ! Quote
Scoobyqueen Posted March 17, 2009 at 09:14 PM Report Posted March 17, 2009 at 09:14 PM I seem to remember there are some threads on this topic, including the maths behind it. Quote
imron Posted March 18, 2009 at 02:17 AM Report Posted March 18, 2009 at 02:17 AM And I think the general conclusion from those posts was that it was a black box and there is no way to know the exact weighting (and therefore no way for example to translate sample test scores to what you might get on the real exam).

roddy Posted March 18, 2009 at 02:17 AM Report Posted March 18, 2009 at 02:17 AM See here and the links from there. There should also be info on the HSK site, but it's painfully slow at the moment. It can all be quite confusing, but the trick is to just get all the answers right. Quote
