Features: This book is based on the new HSK Advanced Examination syllabus and has difficulty comparable to the actual test. Written by experienced HSK teachers, it compiles eight authoritative mock tests, accompanied by corresponding answers, annotations, and listening comprehension transcripts, helping you conquer the HSK with ease. Friends who have taken the recent HSK Advanced Examinations may have noticed that the questions seem more challenging than before. Additionally, based on feedback from experienced candidates, we have identified two major changes in the HSK Advanced test:
1. Objective Questions - Listening Comprehension (Questions 1-25): In the past, this section included several speeches and dialogues. In the new test, only "speeches" or narrative materials are used, with dialogues significantly reduced or even omitted. Moreover, the listening materials in the current HSK Advanced exam are longer and faster-paced, undoubtedly increasing the test's difficulty.
2. Comprehensive Expression - Part 2: According to the requirements of the new HSK Advanced Examination syllabus, this section focuses on word meaning differentiation and the accuracy and appropriateness of language expression. The original requirement was to test both real and functional words. However, the new test now emphasizes real words while largely omitting functional words (to help with reviewing important functional words, this book retains a small portion of them).
To address these changes in the current HSK Advanced exam, we have compiled this Comprehensive HSK Advanced Mock Test Collection. Some students may find this mock test collection challenging. Indeed, this is exactly the intended effect. Our reasoning is that if the questions are too simple, they may not provide a realistic experience for candidates preparing for the advanced exam, limiting potential improvement. Therefore, to achieve ideal results, students must undergo this rigorous training.
The compilers of this exercise collection are either teachers with years of experience in teaching Chinese to foreigners or researchers specializing in Chinese language testing. They are highly experienced in teaching and deeply familiar with the HSK. After taking these eight mock tests, we believe students' practical exam experience will be significantly enhanced. Wishing everyone success in obtaining the HSK Advanced Certificate as soon as possible!
