Frequently asked questions
Which Chinese exams do these books cover?
AP®, the Seal of Biliteracy and other US tests, GCSE, A level, SQA and the Leaving Cert in the UK and Ireland, IB and IGCSE, TOCFL and CCCC, HSKK, BCT and YCT, VCE, HSC, Year 12 and NCEA in Australia and New Zealand, and O Level in Singapore.
Are these official past papers?
No. SayMei wrote every book as independent practice in the exam's task types, and no exam board produced or endorsed them. Each board's own line is at the foot of this page. Use your board's past papers as well, where it publishes them.
Is there audio?
Yes. The exam books have free audio on their pages, for listening tasks, model answers or lines to repeat. You can use the audio without an account.
What if there's only one book for my exam?
Start with it, then add a book for a nearby exam at the same level if you need more practice. Each card shows a rough HSK level, and the level pages list other books at that stage.
