Here at LTL Mandarin School, we are no strangers to the HSK exam.

We’ve helped over 10,000 students in their language journey. Most of our students sit a HSK exam to help understand what level of Chinese they have.

This is also a great way for employers to understand your abilities.

The NEW HSK 1 includes 500 words in total! Learn every single one here

For someone who has passed a HSK 1 exam, they would be able to express very basic everyday phrases.

Also, they would be able to introduce themselves and answer questions like where they live, who they know and the things they have. Want to know more about the other HSK levels?

Disclaimer: THIS IS NOT A HSK 1 MOCK EXAM

This is a HSK 1 vocabulary test. Meaning all you can test is your ability to recognise the Chinese characters and/or pinyin and translate it back to English.

Why take a HSK Vocab test?

Well, why not?

To pass HSK 1 you will need a score of 60%. By the time you finish this HSK 1 vocabulary test, you’ll know if you understand more or less than 60% of the vocabulary in the exam.

Of course, a 60% score here doesn’t ensure a 60% score in the real exam. Instead, use this a gauge as to how confident you should be when entering the exam. The higher the better!

A HSK 1 and HSK 2 are the lowest levels and only require listening and reading and use pinyin and Chinese characters. From level 3 and above you lose the safety net of the pinyin.

When you’re done with the HSK 1 vocabulary test check out our pinyin translator!

BONUS – Buy the HSK Books!

If our vocabulary quizzes are not enough for you and you’d like to start preparing for the HSK with a more structured program, there is a way!

You can of course sign up to our Online HSK Preparation Course, or buy the HSK books, have them delivered at home to start studying by yourself.

The books displayed below are those we use in class 👇

Start with the HSK 1 level if you never studied the Chinese language before.

Keep going with the HSK 2 level to go further with your language studies.

    This quiz was easy except for one word: 本 (běn). The problem was that none of the options offered looked correct. I looked it up in a dictionary to see if I was missing something. I found the expected use of this character as a measure word for books and such. Then I found I meaning I had not learned: ‘this one, one’s own’. The closest of the four choices to this was ‘he, him’, so I chose it. After I got my results, I found that they were looking for ‘volume’. When I had seen volume, I was thinking of the meaning that I have come across for a word in another Chinese program that I am currently using, namely, the rate at which water or people or other things come through a system. Apparently, though, this website was thinking of ‘volume’ in the sense of one book in a series of books. Frankly, that never even crossed my mind. Because ‘volume’ can have so many meanings, I recommend that on this quiz the word ‘book’ should be added in parentheses after ‘volume’.
