There are 3 voices — 2 women and a man. 

 

Don't they always arrange it so that the same woman asks the question, and she's never the last one to speak in the "dialogue"?

I think the 2 women sound the same!!

 

no wonder i'm no good with listening skills!!

[TaxiAsh]

have you managed to get Ms Chen on sykpe?

 

I tried typing in the phone number, but doesn't bring any one up

 

and typing her name in bringing up hundreds and can't see anything that looks like the right one?

@TaxiAsh  I will send her full Skype ID to you in a private message.

brilliant thanks pal!

 

I just had a go with Exam client and it works ok.

 

I signed in and the mock test started so I did it! (i clicked on hsk1 200/200, so hope I can replicate that!

 

Much clearer audio than the practice ones!

 

 

 

 

[TaxiAsh]

found her thanks!

 

I wonder if others got the email with the incorrect number!

 

hopefully others in here will see it

did you say you can have 2 goes at the mocks?

 

I might set up exam client on my laptop and try again for hsk2 test.

 

this is also a back up because my computer is being a bit slow lately! i don't want it to crash on the day!!

Some of the audio that's out on the web is very poor quality, yes. (Low bit-rate MP3s.)

When I was hunting for HSK 3 听力 audio files online I specifically went after the good quality ones... it makes a difference I think.

Hi, just checking in

 

How's everyone doing, ready for tomorrow?

 

I've done as much as I can for hsk2, still struggle a bit with some things, but will just do the best!

[mungouk]

I've been doing loads of practice tests, some of them just the listening or reading part to practice those more.

 

Unless it goes really badly I should be able to pass HSK 4, but looking at my results so far I think it will be a pretty low score. 

 

If I can get more than 200/300 I will be satisfied. (180 is the pass mark.)

 

加油！

Yes, me too, as many practice tests as I can.

 

Today I'll have a go at one of each practice tests, then I'm just watching some youtube channels for HSK2 where I seem to pick something new up each time I watch.

 

Yesterday, I found a series of short films called shuoshuo Chinese, and I'm watching these today (good for spotting common mistakes). She does a level 3 and 4, but I don't know if they are any use.

 

In case we don't post here again today,

 

all the best to you and everyone sitting these!

In case anyone was wondering about home-based tests in July, I just noticed this on Twitter...

 

According to the HSKTestOfficial account:

At present, there is no online home test in July. For normal online test, you can register online: http://chinesetest.cn

How did you get on @mungouk

 

Were you in the same skype group as me at 9am? I had MsChen watching and 4 others were on.

 

I think if I passed hsk2, I'll be surprised, and probably at best scraped through it. It was a lot tougher than the mocks.

hsk1 I'll be disappointed if I didn't get them all right.

 

Any idea of how long for results?

[mungouk]

They said (somewhere) that results will be out in 10 days.  There's not usually any notification, you just have to login to chinesetest.cn and check under "Score information".

 

Yes I was there this morning at 9... a brief report is over in the "Taking the HSK?" thread.

 

I think I'm probably borderline with the HSK 4... I found it harder than the mocks (everyone seems to say this).

I probably saw you then!

 

there were 5 my 9am exam.

 

i didn't realise at first, that when mine finished what to do with skype, as I didn't realise people were doing other levels in my group.

 

I was confused, because when I finished, everyone else looked busy!! so I thought, Oh shit! I've done something wrong! haha

 

I could see MsChen waving at me eventually worked this out that others were doing 4 or 6.

 

in the 1330, she then said, oh reminder, you all doing different ones, so log out of skype when you finish!

 

Wish they had been the other way around. I think I'll probably fail but very close. I was a bit more tense in first as obviously not sure whats going on, where as 1 I was totally relaxed as I knew what what happening!

 

I'll check the thread out now.

[TaxiAsh]

Have you been checking cn site to check for results @mungouk?

 

I think might be out sometime this week

[mungouk]

Wednesday I reckon.

 

The blurb says somewhere 10 days after the test.

Just want to update everyone that I've received my £33 HSK6 certificate today via DHL. It came direct from China.

Hi everyone, 

I am in Melbourne Australia, I want to sit the online HSK4 exam scheduled for 31 October, however, no test centers in Australia are participating in the online at home exam. 

Does anyone know a test center which I can register through to sit the 31 October exam? 

[nad2106]

Hi, for those who already did the test from home, I don't know yet how the writing part will work. I will do the HSK 4 and I was notified that for the first section I need to grab the words with the mouse, but what about the other section where I was supposed to write a sentence, does this edition has it too? or they just delated it? I would appreciate a lot if someone answers.

[mungouk]

You type the Hanzi using the keyboard, with the IME built into the exam software.

 

See here earlier in the thread.

For some reason I cannot go through the second page of the program, is it a mic test? I have my mics on but it doesn't let me through
