During the HSK 5 test, there are breaks between different sections of the exam, particularly between the listening part and the subsequent reading and writing sections. Here are the key points regarding breaks during the HSK 5 test:
- Listening Section: The listening section typically starts first. Once this section begins, latecomers are not allowed to enter the examination room to take the listening test.
- Break After Listening: After the listening section is completed, there is usually a break before the reading and writing sections commence. This break allows candidates to prepare for the next part of the exam.
- Duration and Timing: The exact duration of the break may vary, but it is generally a short period to allow candidates to stretch, relax, or prepare mentally for the next section. The overall timing of the exam, including breaks, is usually communicated to candidates in advance.
- Oral Test (if applicable): For candidates who are also taking the HSKK (oral Chinese proficiency test) along with HSK 5, there will be additional timing and break arrangements. The oral test is usually scheduled after the written test, with specific start times for each level.
