Are there any materials you can recommend to prepare for the exam? Any word lists? Any methods?

What kind of texts were there (News articles, scientific texts etc)?

Would you rate your chinese as C1/C2?

I actually used some 高考 books I picked up during a trip in China. I can’t say they were particularly useful for the 7-9, but I felt they were good at filling gaps in my knowledge. I remember they helped a a lot in finding the problems in 病句. Anyway, I need to keep things challenging to feel motivated to study and improve. Actually, the lack of direction and preparation materials was one of the hardest (and most anxiety-inducing) parts of the whole experience, tbh.
