WEBVTT - Units and exams — Mandarin Temple guide

00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.576
Hi, I’m Jason, Mandarin Temple’s AI tutor.

2
00:00:04.616 --> 00:00:11.670
Here’s how every unit ends, in a review
and an exam, and what each one counts for.

3
00:00:12.833 --> 00:00:18.933
Every HSK level is made of units,
and each unit runs the same way: an overview,

4
00:00:18.973 --> 00:00:22.863
the lessons, a review, then an exam.

5
00:00:23.900 --> 00:00:30.410
Open a unit, and after its lessons
come the unit review and the unit exam.

6
00:00:31.167 --> 00:00:38.067
The review brings the unit back together: what you
can now do, every word and every grammar pattern,

7
00:00:38.107 --> 00:00:41.097
and each part you read counts.

8
00:00:41.533 --> 00:00:44.069
Then come mixed exercises on the whole unit.

9
00:00:44.109 --> 00:00:51.003
They open once each lesson’s own exercises are passed,
and eighty per cent earns the unit’s certification.

10
00:00:51.667 --> 00:00:57.174
The unit exam is a short paper in the HSK format: at HSK 1,

11
00:00:57.214 --> 00:01:00.497
seven listening and reading items, with instant feedback.

12
00:01:01.133 --> 00:01:06.960
It opens once the overview, every lesson
and the review each reach eighty per cent,

13
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.363
so the exam really does come last.

14
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.330
For a whole level at once,
the mock tests are full-length papers,

15
00:01:15.370 --> 00:01:18.850
and Mock 1 of every level is free.

16
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:26.400
That’s how a unit ends: a review to bring
it together, and an exam to show it stuck.

17
00:01:26.440 --> 00:01:30.710
Open HSK 1 and start with Unit 1.
