Today 3 hours.
Total time put into prep = 96 hours over 32 days (had 5 lazy days)
So I put it an hour of vocab and another 2 hours of Revision videos, but was totally finished.
HSK 2 went well but was slow for some reason in the reading section so I missed three questions
HSK 3 ... well let's just say I was examined... and found wanting.
Results are out in 10 days time.. as for today, sleep!
I can safely as the first challenge HSK 1 in 40 hours was met and is easy and doable
The upgraded challenge of HSK2 in 80 hours (cumulative) I'm sure was met,.. I'll know in 10 days.
I had hoped to have more than 120 hours towards HSK 3 but we'll see what 96 hours brings.
Todays hours -> 8 a record right there!
The day of reckoning is here. A few more hours revision, sleep, last minute cramming and the exam will be written.
I will tally up my hours and experiences after the exam... or Sunday LOL we'll see
Day 1. 29 April - 5 hours 30 minutes
So I read somewhere that HSK 1 can be done in 40 hours... so I decided ok lets try that then.
I have minimal learning exposure -I did some Yoyo Chinese pinyin about a year ago, and one coursera lesson when i decided to learn guzheng. But 40 hours is doable so hey why not.
On the other hand I have a lot of hours... thousands... under my belt of Chinese drama. Thing is I watch it usually at 2x speed so cant pick out a lot of individual words... I may have to slow hat down now sigh.
