HSK Exam in Chinese is Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (汉语水平考试) literally meaning “Mandarin Level Test”. It is organized by Hanban (汉办) the part of the Chinese education ministry also in charge of the Confucius Institutes (孔子学院). The HSK Exam is administered by testing centres around the world, including private language schools, universities and Confucius institutes. Exam questions and dates are the same everywhere in the world, however not all testing centres choose to offer the HSK test every month. Many students wish to take a HSK Exam in China for a number of reasons which range from finding their current level of Chinese, achieving a personal goal, or for future career progression.

Is this test the same as the real exam?

Not at all. This test was designed to help you study and review the vocabularies included in the test. It is by no means a mock exam, and doesn't resemble a real HSK exam.

How to prepare for the HSK?

There is loads of resources on the internet to help you review for the HSK, such as apps and flashcards. To get you started, you can download the vocabulary lists for each level of the HSK at the very end of this page . Our best advice would be to take some HSK preparation classes with a professional teacher, as the exam follows a very specific structure and it would be easier to get ready with someone that knows all about it. If you cannot take classes, you can always buy the HSK books from Amazon here.

Where to buy the HSK books?

The books are available on Amazon. You can find links to all of them through our students' essentials blog article here , along with other Chinese learning products.

Do you offer HSK classes online?
