Today, I heard from a friend that the April 2006 HSK results are out online since yesterday afternoon.
I went to check my results online.

I didn’t mention the fact that I sat for the intermediary HSK exam in April (23 April 2006) because I didn’t find it important. The day of the exam was the same day that one of my hamsters escaped from the cage. I was so busy looking for my hamster after I got back home after the exam that I didn’t give a second thought to the exam.
I have to admit that I didn’t study at all for this exam. I was lazy, busy and had to deal with some personal problems at that time. On the eve of the exam, I opened my HSK book and tried to revise but I stopped after skimming over the first page. I told myself that it’s too late to start revising and that I should just go to sleep early instead of worrying. I have optional HSK classes every Wednesday afternoon this semester and I attend those classes for the sake of getting extra credits (so that I can opt out of taking the Chinese history class next year!:P) . My HSK teacher is a good teacher who explains things in details. Her class is a great opportunity for me to brush up on my grammar. I also attend my other classes regularly and it seems that all that was enough for me. I don’t mean that there is no need to study for the HSK exam. It’s just that each person has his/her own method.
Maybe it was mostly because I had sat for the HSK exam during my 1st year already (May 2005) but this time, I wasn’t stressed on the exam day. I sat for the exam at Shanghai International Studies University(SISU) instead of Fudan University this time because I couldn’t hear well with the wireless headset at Fudan last year. I didn’t want to take any risks this year. Many people I know chose SISU too. At SISU, we got old headsets but they weren’t wireless ones so the sound quality was better. The fact that they put a big clock in the front of the examination hall also made me feel relaxed. Last year at Fudan, there were no clocks in the examination classroom and I had forgotten to wear a watch.

This year, my results are as follows:
my April 2006 HSK result
I couldn’t really believe it at first because I got full marks for 阅读 and my overall is 47 marks more than last year。
综合 is the last paper and I’m usually very tired when I reach this part. Still, I’m satisfied with my results this time. They didn’t write which level I got on the website but I know that it’s HSK level 8.
