Working out my HSK mock test total score


vexed

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I recently took a mock New HSK 3 test. I think I passed, I just want someone to check my maths (it's not my strong point!)

Listening: 33/40

Reading: 27/30

Writing 4/10

Each test is marked out of 100, so I divided 33 by 40, then times by 100 to get the score out of 100. Repeated the same process for the other two and arrived at 212.5/300. A score of 180 or higher is needed to pass. Is the maths right?

Sorry for my incompetence.

33/40 = 0.825 => 82.5pts

27/30 = 0.9 => 90pts

4/10 = 0.4 => 40 pts

Total: 212.5pts.

However, regarding the Writing part, did you take into account the fact that all questions do not have the same weight?

According to this page, the Sentences part weighs 60% and the Hanzi part weighs 40%.

So assuming your test has 5 Sentence questions, and 5 Hanzi questions, each Sentence would be worth 60/5 = 12pts, and each Hanzi would be worth 40/5 = 8pts. (but that's only my interpretation of the chart).
