00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.608
Hi, I’m Jason, Mandarin Temple’s AI tutor.

2
00:00:04.648 --> 00:00:10.070
Here’s what the HSK 1 exam asks of you,
and how to sit a full practice paper.

3
00:00:11.233 --> 00:00:18.463
HSK 1 covers five hundred new words and fifty-four
grammar points: the whole syllabus behind the paper.

4
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:25.750
The paper is forty questions in thirty-two minutes of
testing, plus eight minutes for filling in your details.

5
00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:30.580
There’s no writing section: twenty
listening questions in fifteen minutes,

6
00:00:30.620 --> 00:00:34.070
then twenty reading questions in seventeen.

7
00:00:34.633 --> 00:00:39.286
The listening plays once, for the whole room: no pausing,

8
00:00:39.326 --> 00:00:42.183
no replays and no going back.

9
00:00:43.333 --> 00:00:49.833
Further down, select HSK 1, and Sit a free
mock paper takes you to the practice papers:

10
00:00:49.873 --> 00:00:52.883
the first paper at every level is free.

11
00:00:53.433 --> 00:01:00.583
On the mock tests page, HSK 1 has twelve full-length
papers, and Mock 1 is the place to start.

12
00:01:01.133 --> 00:01:07.803
Mock 1 follows the real paper section by section,
with the same number of items and the same timings.

13
00:01:08.367 --> 00:01:11.271
Practice is untimed, with replays.

14
00:01:11.311 --> 00:01:18.557
Exam conditions adds a timer for each section,
audio that plays once, and no going back.

15
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:26.210
When you’re ready, Begin starts the paper,
and it’s marked automatically when you submit.

16
00:01:27.467 --> 00:01:29.577
That’s the HSK 1 paper.

17
00:01:29.617 --> 00:01:34.377
Sit Mock 1 under exam conditions
before you book the real thing.
