Since I had my undergrad study at Beijing Languages and Culture University(BLCU) where exactly the HSK test is held, I was quite familiar about the test.
I checked the website, there are three levels of HSK available: Basic; Junior & Middle; Senior. When you say Beginner Level,I take it as Basic level..
However, there are only two tests for Basic Level this year: One on April 18th, 2009, the other one on Novemebr 28th, 2009. I am not sure if you are gonna make it...As for Junior & Middle Level, the closest one is on Octomber 18th, 2009.
Besides, I know some guy named 'Jeff Barnes'. He goes to Drexel too and he had spent 4~5 years studying Chinese at BLCU. I believe he was actually taking the HSK exams..You can find him on facebook or probably you knew him already.:-)
I will see what else I can find..
Feel free to let me know anything I can be of any help.
Best,
Emmy
And I believe you can buy maps or get free ones at the airports..

But if you wanna get one beforehand, you may go to Chinatown and walk in one of the bookstores to see if there is one..(you may call first~)
Or maybe you can check with Triple A's local branch..
