WEBVTT - Where and how to sit the HSK — Mandarin Temple guide

1
00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.512
Hi, I’m Jason, Mandarin Temple’s AI tutor.

2
00:00:04.552 --> 00:00:11.110
Here’s how booking the real HSK works,
and what Mandarin Temple can and can’t do for you.

3
00:00:12.267 --> 00:00:19.167
Registration, fees, dates and test centres
are run by CTI, the body behind the HSK,

4
00:00:19.207 --> 00:00:21.337
not by Mandarin Temple.

5
00:00:21.900 --> 00:00:25.567
Centres are listed in CTI’s own registration system,

6
00:00:25.607 --> 00:00:32.170
so this page links to the official pages rather
than copying a list that goes out of date.

7
00:00:32.733 --> 00:00:36.393
When you book, you choose a paper
test or an internet-based one,

8
00:00:36.433 --> 00:00:41.163
and the real difference is handwriting
or typing the writing section.

9
00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:48.690
Booking takes five steps, from registering an account on
the official site to downloading your admission ticket.

10
00:00:49.233 --> 00:00:56.143
On the day, bring the ID you registered with, arrive early,
and expect the listening audio to play only once.

11
00:00:56.700 --> 00:01:03.770
Results come back through the same CTI account, and a
score report is usually treated as current for two years.

12
00:01:04.833 --> 00:01:11.183
Before you pay a fee, select the level you’re considering,
and the page shows what its paper asks of you.

13
00:01:11.833 --> 00:01:19.063
From there, study the level, sit a free
mock paper, or go to CTI’s site to register.

14
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:26.990
That’s booking the HSK: CTI runs the exam,
and Mandarin Temple helps you prepare for it.
