<p>My tutor told me with the most frequently used 1200 Chinese characters will cover 90% of Chinese understanding. So I’m planning to master those 1200 for the test. By the way, I’m a sophomore and I’m not from a Asian background . I’m striving for a 5 (HOPEFULLY)!!! </p>

<p>P.S. If anyone needs the most frequently used 1200 Chinese characters file. Send to my email: magicwarm2012@g mail.com</p>
