I've been studying for 1 year chinese, though I've lived in china for 2 years, and I just took the middle level test and I scored level 7. I had 1 semester of school and 7 months intensive at home by myself.

I took the HSK in December and scored a 7. I've only taken 5 semesters of Chinese (3 of them in Beijing), but the big thing that helped me was going to prep classes. I went to Diqiucun (Global Village) a Korean-owned language school in Beijing every evening for an hour and a half class, cramming like the Koreans really paid off. I disagree with you about just studying test prep books. HSK teachers have a LOT of strategies that really worked for me. Next year I'll be going to grad school in China. Hi.

Since basically it relies on your ability to choose the exact right word and also remember how to write it. Heh... pain in the ass. At least with an essay you can always choose how to express yourself. Good luck with the advanced. If you went to a Chinese middle school and have been writing by hand / reading Chinese all these nine years you should do fine. I know I wouldn't pass the advanced.

I'm just a bit nervous about the essay. I went to Chinese middle school, and for the Han Yu Kao Shi I had to write a 1000 word essay. But once (since i was a kid at the time and my chinese was "poor"), my teacher asked me to read my essay before the class of around 60 students...to make a long story short, I humiliated myself w/ incorrect grammar and have been horrified with essays ever since. i havent takent the mid-level, but i know what it tests. ive lived in china for almost 9 years so taking the Advanced is only natural, imo.

Have you taken the mid level HSK exam? The mid level is similar, just a lot harder, and there is a speaking and essay section that isn't part of the mid level exam. Huh?
