00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.528
Hi, I’m Jason, Mandarin Temple’s AI tutor.

2
00:00:04.568 --> 00:00:09.910
Here’s what the HSK 2 exam asks of you,
and how to sit a full practice paper.

3
00:00:11.067 --> 00:00:16.247
HSK 2 adds seven hundred and
seventy-two new words on top of HSK 1:

4
00:00:16.287 --> 00:00:18.937
the syllabus behind this paper.

5
00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:26.490
The paper is sixty questions in forty-seven minutes of
testing, plus eight minutes for filling in your details.

6
00:00:27.033 --> 00:00:32.241
There’s still no writing: thirty-five
listening questions in twenty-five minutes,

7
00:00:32.281 --> 00:00:35.783
then twenty-five reading questions in twenty-two.

8
00:00:36.333 --> 00:00:40.986
The listening plays once, for the whole room: no pausing,

9
00:00:41.026 --> 00:00:43.883
no replays and no going back.

10
00:00:45.033 --> 00:00:51.193
Further down, select HSK 2, and Sit a free
mock paper takes you to the practice papers:

11
00:00:51.233 --> 00:00:54.583
the first paper at every level is free.

12
00:00:55.633 --> 00:01:01.673
On the mock tests page, choose HSK 2:
it has twelve full-length papers,

13
00:01:01.713 --> 00:01:04.463
and Mock 1 is the place to start.

14
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:11.670
Mock 1 follows the real paper section by section,
with the same number of items and the same timings.

15
00:01:12.233 --> 00:01:15.137
Practice is untimed, with replays.

16
00:01:15.177 --> 00:01:22.423
Exam conditions adds a timer for each section,
audio that plays once, and no going back.

17
00:01:24.067 --> 00:01:30.077
When you’re ready, Begin starts the paper,
and it’s marked automatically when you submit.

18
00:01:31.333 --> 00:01:33.413
That’s the HSK 2 paper.

19
00:01:33.453 --> 00:01:38.323
Sit Mock 1 under exam conditions
before you book the real thing.
