outcast Posted July 29, 2007 at 07:30 AM Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 at 07:30 AM I was wondering, lets say that I take the HSK and get a band 4, but want a higher mark, am I allowed to retake it the next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Pan Posted July 29, 2007 at 11:02 AM Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 at 11:02 AM Yes, as many times as you want. But be careful because it seems that starting from 2008, the new HSK (which has a writting part) will replace the current "old" one. So maybe it is wise to secure the November last "old" test, as you can find many books & samples to prepare it - which is not the case for the new test.

kdavid Posted July 29, 2007 at 11:32 AM Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 at 11:32 AM Does anyone know what the "new" test will be like? How is the format different? Are all of my current HSK study books about to become obsolete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrZero Posted July 29, 2007 at 02:33 PM Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 at 02:33 PM Will it require writing by hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muyongshi Posted July 29, 2007 at 10:54 PM Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 at 10:54 PM Will it require writing by hand? Can you tell me some other way to "write"? Yes it is a hand written essay Does anyone know what the "new" test will be like? How is the format different? Are all of my current HSK study books about to become obsolete? The new format is pretty much the same as the advanced format and people have already been taking it as part of their trial period. Your current tools will only become partially obsolete. I cannot remember what they are taking out (if anything). But the test will be very similar to it's current form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrZero Posted July 30, 2007 at 01:21 AM Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 at 01:21 AM Can you tell me some other way to "write"? Yes it is a hand written essay With a computer. Do you assume that every time Stephen King "writes" a novel he does it by hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outcast Posted July 30, 2007 at 08:00 AM Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 at 08:00 AM So the new intermediate exam will have an essay question and what else? EDIT: Better question, where can I find more info on this change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
