Campus, gaokao, graduate school, language exchange and academic Chinese.

11 subtopics · ~456 words

University covers campus life, 高考 culture, 考研, exchange and academic Chinese. Do not open it at HSK 1. It is for when you already have a student number, a supervisor or a 论文 deadline. Pair it with characters and useful grammar, not street food. Advanced rows (HSK 5–6 and 7+) are dense: one leaf a week, not five. Chinese Trainer marks the level; confirm the real syllabus at your centre and on chinesetest.cn if the goal is the paper, not only the classroom.
