With more and more people (see: our John Pasden) attending uni at a Mandarin school, we’d like to cover some basics. We’ve already taught you “keg stand” and “dodging student loans”, so the only thing left is making sure you know when an exam is coming up. In this podcast, learn to discuss exams and expectations in Mandarin Chinese. (Premium subscribers get an invite to our “ChinesePod Toga Party”).

Today we will mainly talk about the content of the final examination. This exam is divided up into the following sections: multiple choice questions, true/false questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, short answer questions, and an analysis question. There are a total of 120 points, and the amount of points for each section are the same as they have been for previous examinations, so everyone should be clear about that. The length of time for the test is two hours.

Professor, will this exam cover the content of the entire textbook, or only the material from the second half of the semester?

This exam is on the material from the entire semester, but it emphasis on Chapters 5 through 10. Everyone needs to put some extra thought into this exam. The content is not as rigid as the mid-term exam, so you all need to really understand the material that you have learned, and be able to apply it in a flexible way.
