A staple of the HSK test, fill-in-the-blanks questions challenge you to pick the most appropriate of several words to complete a sentence. At the beginner level, the correct answer is typically the only option which is grammatically correct. At the Intermediate level, these questions grow more difficult as you will need to differentiate between similar words with similar meanings but slightly different usages.

我们的生活条件好太多了 does this mean:

"our lives are too good" (lit. good too much)?

What would be other examples of such a construction?

我的中文水平坏太差了???

@huyinlin,

这是一个比较。It means our lives are much better. "好多了" is a fixed construction meaning much better. "太" is just put there to describe 多.
