How best to study for HSK II


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm in Madrid and hoping to take the new HSK II in May. I think it's attainable in four months based on my current level, but whether it is or not isn't my question.

My question is: What's the best way to prepare for it? I'm no longer in China.

Are there new-HSK books that I could buy or order here in Spain (or anywhere in Europe)?

Are there online resources tailored specifically to HSK II vocab and grammar?

What about practice tests?

Next month I'm going to check with the local Confucius Institute here, which happens to be housed at the Spanish university I'll be taking master's classes at (not in Chinese) this semester. But if any of you can help point me in the right direction now, it would save me some valuable time!

Also, a question about what "Level I-VI+Speaking Test" mean here?: http://www.chinesetesting.cn/gonewcontent.do?id=1960639

Is there a Speaking Test for each level? Or only level VI? Or is it completely separate? And just as above, how best to prepare for it if I'm not in China?

If it turns out that this Speaking Test isn't relevant to my needs, then I'd be able to take the HSK in April or June if one of those were more convenient.

Many, many thanks in anticipation of your help!!

You can find a mock test in http://www.confuciusinstitute.qut.edu.au/study/proficiency.jsp. Take also a look to the test for YCT level 3, since they use the same vocabulary and grammar. There are books with several mock tests available

Use Lingt http://lingt.com to test your vocabulary. Search the lists for new hsk level I and new hsk level II

An Excel file with the 300 words you are supposed to know can be found inhttp://lingomi.com/blog/hsk-lists-2010/ Use anki to help you review them

Take a look at the thread http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/21540-new-hsk/

Hope this helps
