Hey, why don't you check this out? www.summitkm.com/mandarin-programs That seems what you need.

"The course content includes exam taking skills and strategies as well as general Chinese; including grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening comprehension. Our HSK Preparation Programs are run for 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 10 weeks and 12 weeks prior to the exam date (Dec '07). So right after taking our preparation course, you can take the exam in Kunming - one of the Chinese cities where HSK is held. All our Chinese teachers are fluent in both Chinese and English, experienced in teaching the HSK, fully certified and speak standardized Mandarin."

Yes, that's possible, I've done that before. But it has to be a school, and you can't do that by yourself.

P.S. Check if the school is legal.
