HSC Hungarian Continuers study plan

Transcribe 15 short Hungarian audio segments (60-90 seconds each) from news and interview sources, writing down key facts rather than full sentences

Identify and record 40 high-frequency exam-register vocabulary items (public life, education, environment, relationships) with Hungarian definitions and example sentences

Practise predicting content from question stems before listening, completing 10 question sets under timed conditions

Annotate every listening mistake by cause: unknown word, missed connective, speed, or inference failure

Complete 12 timed listening tasks across all text types (announcement, conversation, interview, report) and score each against a marking rubric

Summarise 8 written Hungarian articles of 300-400 words in 60-80 words each, capturing main idea and two supporting details

Distinguish fact from opinion in 10 written texts by underlining and labelling evaluative language

Build a reference sheet of 25 discourse connectives (however, therefore, on the other hand) and use each in a written sentence

Listen to 10 authentic recordings at natural speed and answer inference questions (speaker attitude, purpose, implied meaning) without replaying

Complete 10 reading tasks under strict time limits, allocating 2 minutes per question set for skimming before answering

Paraphrase 20 exam-style questions into your own words to confirm you understand what is being asked

Record and review 5 spoken responses to listening prompts, noting hesitations and self-corrections

Sit a full-length timed practice paper for Listening and Reading under exam conditions in one sitting

Re-attempt every previously logged error and confirm at least 80 percent are now correct

Reduce average reading time per text by 15 percent while maintaining comprehension accuracy above 75 percent

Compile a one-page personal error-pattern summary identifying your three most frequent mistake types

Write 5 exam-style texts across required text types (formal letter, article, diary entry, speech, report) of 250-300 words each within 45 minutes

Draft and revise each text for register, cohesion, and accurate use of formal versus informal address forms

Record 6 spoken monologues of 2-3 minutes on prescribed themes, then transcribe and correct grammar and vocabulary slips

Memorise and actively use 30 advanced structures (conditional, passive, subordinate clauses) in written and spoken production

Produce 4 timed written responses of 300 words in 40 minutes, self-marking against criteria for content, range, accuracy, and structure

Conduct 5 recorded role-play dialogues (asking for information, complaining, persuading) of 3-4 minutes each with a conversation partner or self-recorded both roles

Expand sentence variety by rewriting 20 simple sentences into complex ones without changing meaning

Practise 10 picture- or prompt-based spoken descriptions, structuring each with an opening, two developed points, and a conclusion

Sit a full timed mock covering Listening, Writing, and a recorded Speaking session on the same day to build stamina

Cut planning time for written tasks to 5 minutes by using a fixed outline template

Reduce hesitation markers in a 3-minute recorded monologue to fewer than five occurrences

Review the week 4 error summary and verify that no recurring error type remains unaddressed

Complete two full timed mock papers across all four domains, simulating exam scheduling and breaks

Consolidate revision notes into a single 4-page reference covering vocabulary, connectives, text-type conventions, and speaking structures

Rehearse 8 likely speaking prompts aloud, recording each and checking fluency, accuracy, and depth

Finalise a personal exam-day checklist covering timing, question-reading strategy, and proofreading routine
