00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.192
Hi, I’m Jason, Mandarin Temple’s AI tutor.

2
00:00:04.232 --> 00:00:10.470
Here’s what the HSK 3 exam asks of you,
and how to sit a full practice paper.

3
00:00:11.633 --> 00:00:18.863
HSK 3 adds nine hundred and fifty new words and
eighty-one grammar points: the syllabus behind this paper.

4
00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:26.070
The paper is eighty questions in eighty minutes of testing,
plus ten minutes for filling in your details.

5
00:00:26.633 --> 00:00:31.837
Writing joins the paper for the first
time: ten items in fifteen minutes,

6
00:00:31.877 --> 00:00:35.703
ordering words into sentences and writing characters.

7
00:00:36.267 --> 00:00:40.920
The listening plays once, for the whole room: no pausing,

8
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.817
no replays and no going back.

9
00:00:44.967 --> 00:00:51.627
Further down, select HSK 3, and Sit a free
mock paper takes you to the practice papers:

10
00:00:51.667 --> 00:00:54.597
the first paper at every level is free.

11
00:00:55.633 --> 00:01:01.783
On the mock tests page, choose HSK 3:
it has twelve full-length papers,

12
00:01:01.823 --> 00:01:04.383
and Mock 1 is the place to start.

13
00:01:04.933 --> 00:01:11.603
Mock 1 follows the real paper section by section,
with the same number of items and the same timings.

14
00:01:12.167 --> 00:01:15.071
Practice is untimed, with replays.

15
00:01:15.111 --> 00:01:22.357
Exam conditions adds a timer for each section,
audio that plays once, and no going back.

16
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:30.010
When you’re ready, Begin starts the paper,
and it’s marked automatically when you submit.

17
00:01:31.267 --> 00:01:33.747
That’s the HSK 3 paper.

18
00:01:33.787 --> 00:01:38.097
Sit Mock 1 under exam conditions
before you book the real thing.
