If you've pushed yourself through our earlier HSK Advanced tests you should find these exercises easy. They have mostly two rather than three blanks. Bear in mind that you still have only about 45 seconds per question however, so don't take it too easy.

In other news, while we've got an Elementary podcast lined up for release later tonight or early tomorrow morning, we've also just released a funky new lesson on how to write Chinese characters. If you're interested in polishing your writing skills and don't mind helping us test drive our new Writing Pad, we'd encourage you to check out the lesson and let us know of any problems you run into. Once the kinks are worked out and we've incorporated your feedback we'll be launching a short lesson series on the proper ways to write Chinese characters.
