重大雷雨 Posted March 5, 2019 at 09:22 PM Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 at 09:22 PM It appears the grading of the writing portion of the HSK 6 test is a closely guarded secret. Anyone want to share their writing strategy and what the score was? I want to figure out if it is better to write very simple sentences with little variation in grammar and vocabulary, but no mistakes or if it is it better to vary vocab/sentence structure, even if it comes at the expense of a few mistakes.

Tomsima Posted March 5, 2019 at 11:00 PM Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 at 11:00 PM i got better marks when I wrote neater characters, but who knows if it was just because of that. I wrote using traditional, with seemingly no adverse effect on my grade, if thats also useful to you. I wrote simple sentences with clear 主語 and 謂語 that matched the original as closely as possible. I used some grammatical structures (eg. 與其...不如...) to link ideas. I didn't care about varying vocab at all and tried to just get good correct grammar and clear flow of ideas running through the essay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackie1402 Posted March 6, 2019 at 03:59 AM Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 at 03:59 AM Quote 缩写 HSK(六级)中有“缩写”题。 0 分:空白。 低档分:内容与提供材料相关性不大; 内容不连贯，有语法错误; 有较多错别字。 中档分:内容与提供材料基本相符，有语法错误; 内容与提供材料基本相符，有少量错别字; 篇幅不够。 高档分:内容与提供材料相符，结构合理，表达连贯，无语法错误、错别字。 If you Baidu HSK6 写作评分 there are a few resources. Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
重大雷雨 Posted March 6, 2019 at 08:25 AM Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 at 08:25 AM I will be taking the computer test.... I think. So, hopefully no handwriting for me. The handwriting will be a post-hsk endeavor. TomSima, I am guessing you chose the correct strategy. Thanks for the validation. I have seen that rubric, but I still don't know what they are looking for beyond a very general sense. I baidued it, but just saw many contradictory opinions. My impression so far is to prioritize limited mistakes and simplicity over style and vocab. My writing will be dull/repetitive, but connected with linkage structures/words where it makes it more logical or smooth. But, I also get major fatigue issues on my practice tests, so my scores on all sections could be up to chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtcamero Posted March 29, 2019 at 04:23 PM Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 at 04:23 PM having taken both the digital and handwritten HSK 6 tests, i find the reading section was noticably harder on the digital test. also the software they use is very old so the font is hard to read which really slowed me down. Despite being able to write much better digitally, i believe i’ll have a much higher grade overall on the written exam when the grades are revealed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
大块头 Posted March 29, 2019 at 04:53 PM Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 at 04:53 PM Is it like the GRE where a computer algorithm is used for part of the scoring? If that's the case it may be worth using rarer vocabulary and longer sentences.
