Conan trembled as the invigilator continued with the HSK. His was the code of force, yet there was nothing to smash here and no-one to bruise. And as the test wore on his headband seemed to tighten until his temples burned under the strain. "Test make head hurt," he finally moaned as his outer vision failed. And then the room plunged into darkness and the Great Warrior was no more.

Our sample HSK exam for today is an Intermediate listening test, and we hope you do better than Conan did. Our questions can be found both on the quiz page, as well as in the podcast and transcripts which accompany this lesson. Test yourself online, or download the materials and study offline at your leisure. Good luck!
