Before you start: The HSK 1 words and grammar. You don't need to have taken Mock Test 1 first, but comparing the two scores shows your progress. ## Are the questions different from HSK 1 Mock Test 1? Yes. All 40 questions are new. The paper's structure, parts and timing are the same, so your two scores compare fairly. You don't need to have taken Mock Test 1 first. ## What's in the paper? Listening has 20 questions in four parts: choose a picture for each sentence, pick the right reply, match short dialogues to pictures, and answer a question about single sentences. Reading has 20: match sentences to pictures and questions to replies, fill gaps from a word box, and answer a ★ question about each short sentence. ## How long does it take? About 45 minutes in one sitting: about 12 minutes of listening without pausing, 3 minutes to copy your answers, then 20 minutes of reading. Take it a few days after HSK 1 Mock Test 1, or a week or two before your exam. ## Does it have pinyin and audio? Yes. The questions print pinyin with the characters, and the transcript gives pinyin and English for every recording. The audio is on this book's free listening page, linked by a QR code in the PDF, with the whole section as one track and each part on its own. ## How close is it to the real HSK 1 exam? It follows the published structure of the new HSK 1 paper (HSK 3.0): the same sections, parts, number of questions and timing, with words from the 2025 HSK syllabus. SayMei wrote every question, so use it as practice. HSK 3.0 pass marks are not published, so treat your score as a guide. ## What do I do with my score? Count your marks per section in the Score yourself box. Below 60% in reading, it points you to HSK 1 Reading Practice. Below 60% in listening, it points you to the HSK 1 Vocabulary Recall & Speaking Workbook, and to replaying each track with the transcript. Then try HSK 1 Mock Test 3. ## Do I need a SayMei account?
