<p>I took the chinese test today and did not do very well. Prob got 4 wrong(stupid grammar) so 800 is def out of question. This isn't one of my main subjects, I only took it to waive language req and for huntsman. but since I'm an abc will it look bad that I didn't get 800?</p>
<p>No, as long as your score was 750+, you’ll be fine. No need to cancel your scores just because you got below 800.</p>
<p>Well the curve is apparently really harsh, so I’m not sure if I’m gonna make it above 750. The blue book had 4 wrong = 800, but people say that more than one wrong kills your score. Did anyone who took the test today think the usage portion was tough?</p>
<p>I took the Chinese today and I thought the usage/grammar part was ok… It was the reading/listening that killed me.</p>
<p>For #80, did you put airline company or travel agency? Or something completely different? >_<
And what was the best part about the sweater that Mr. H liked? </p>
<p>As for the listening, the 1st question of part 2, what was the thing the guy wanted? I couldn’t identify the term… ;-;
And for part 1, some guy said that he does not like Chinese class, girl asks why and the answers I was struggling with were:
b) Too much homework
c) Chinese characters are hard to write</p>
<p>What did you put?</p>
<p>And what usage/grammar did you think you got wrong?</p>
<p>Umm for 80 I think it was travel agency. Mr h liked the style. The guy wanted a book. He was actually referring to English class so it was too much hw. For usage I got the question on the guy having red face wrong, the tv show one wrong, and the two words having similar pronunciation wrong. I also don’t know about the one talking about how the guy didn’t have much time in the past month.</p>
<p>Oh god, I got the book wrong and the English class. -<em>-; I honestly put book down but I heard ji so I thought it was some electronic device I didn’t know the term of :X
And did it really say English class? I should of more attention to that question… I actually played it twice and I still got it wrong. T</em>T</p>
<p>Ah for the usage ones, I’m not sure what the answers are for them since I kind of forgot the answer choices x_x But yeah, the red face was kind of tricky, I think I was stuck between qi or zhe or something else…</p>
<p>Already 2 wrong, sigh… Hopefully the curve isn’t as harsh as you heard it was >_<;</p>
<p>did anyone remember there being any c’s for the last 5?</p>
<p>Does anyone know what 5 wrong would correlate to on the scaled score thing? I’m highly thinking cancelling… T__T</p>
<p>i think five wrong would be at least 730…it was pretty trickyyy.
im praying for a good curveeee ><</p>
<p>don’t worry, the curve is much better than you’d think
-5 may still be a 780
Did you guys get “take the elevator to the 7th floor” or something like that for question 18 in listening?</p>
<p>for the dentist office one, did you guys get that it closes between noon and 2?</p>
<p>^that was the answer</p>
<p>yea…anyway…anyone remember any c’s at all for the last 5 -_-</p>
<p>what did you guys put for the one about the dad who was a famous tennis player…?</p>
<p>There was one where the dad was a famous tennis planner? O.o
which one was that?</p>
<p>Crap, maybe my Chinese is a lot worse than I thought, but wasn’t there a grammar question where it talked about sports and somebody’s dad being famous?</p>
<p>Haha, I’m not sure. I remember there was this random question about a tv show and people going crazy over it.</p>
<p>Crap I f***ed up so bad on the reading, especially near the end. I skipped about 5 and guessed a couple. Does anyone know how that and the curve affects possible score?</p>

<p>I had trouble with the similar pronunciation problem too. What was the answer for that one?</p>
