honestly its the best of the papers for me since i’m really good at recognising characters for the reading part. Hoping to get close to full marks to make up for the listening part

for the listening, something i always recommend doing is writing down the pinyin above or below where you normally write characters or even the english if you understood what it said, because you may be lucky enough that it appears in one of the readings, that happened for me and my classmates in the mock with 澳大利亚 and its so funny cause the invigilators were staring at us like ‘can they do that???’ but yes you definitely can. It’s obviously not foolproof but its great when it does work out

That’s useful tbh, I think i will start with the reading section, that way when it comes to listening if there is a word idk i might remember it from from the reading.
