took the official HSK 6 exam today!! it was a disaster (not the actual test but the circumstances surrounding it) because i had a wi-fi outage so the time directly before the test was spent ubering to my parent’s place (no i can’t drive), and i basically rolled directly off the uber and ran into the room to start the test

i felt like i did pretty solid on the listening, biggest disappointment is that i know i underperformed on the reading compared to how i was doing on mock tests. mostly because i was in an odd mental state where my head was so fuzzy with thoughts about the exam itself, which made it hard to start reading articles. rip. so yeah i ended up having to answer the 病句 and the 选词填空 very quickly (i might have outright guessed on a few, i don’t remember). the writing section was fun, no idea how i did on that cuz idk what the fuck they’re grading for, but. idk. it’s a fairly straightforward task tbh.

for the HSKK advanced, i totally blanked out on one of the three 听后复述 questions bc i was not able to keep up with all of the key words, and the other two, i…well. idk. the 朗读 was perfectly fine and the free response questions were also fine (i was maybe fucking up the grammar for the latter). after i did the free responses i was like “this is an absurd amount of time for each speaking question” and then i realized they gave a scratch area and we were probably supposed to think about our answer first instead of just rocketing right into answering………i don’t really care about my HSKK advanced score but i don’t think i did all that great lmfao. oh but since i was the only one doing the spoken exam in my time slot and the proctor knew i was taking HSK 6, she asked if she could read the instructions out in chinese instead LMAO. which, of course. yes

anyways. HSK scores in 2 weeks and HSKK scores in 4 weeks!
