# HSC Chinese Practice: Beginners, Continuers and Extension Free NSW HSC Chinese practice PDFs for Beginners, Continuers and Extension: oral, listening, reading and writing, with model answers and audio. Source: https://www.saymei.app/resources/downloads/hsc-chinese-workbooks By Mei Lin The HSC is the Year 12 exam in New South Wales, and Chinese is offered at several levels. These books cover three: Beginners, at about HSK 1 to 2, Continuers, at about HSK 3 to 4, and Extension, taken alongside Continuers at about HSK 4 to 5. Each has an oral and a written exam. By the end of the book for your course you have practised its oral questions, listening, reading and writing with model answers, and at Extension the issues and text response. All three have free audio. ## Best first book [HSC Chinese Beginners Practice: Oral, Listening, Reading and Writing](https://www.saymei.app/resources/downloads/hsc-chinese-beginners-practice): Oral questions with model answers and listening, reading and writing practice for HSC Chinese Beginners, in simplified characters with pinyin.
