FAQ
What is the HSK?
HSK (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi) was launched by the Center for Language Education and Cooperation and authorized by Chinese Test International (CTI). It is the most authoritative standardised test for Chinese language learners to evaluate their Chinese language level.
What does the HSK entail?
HSK focuses mainly on testing students’ Chinese communicative competence for everyday life, study and work. It is divided into oral and written examinations:
-
The written examination is split into HSK (level 1), HSK (level 2), HSK (Level 3), HSK (Level 4), HSK (Level 5) and HSK (level 6).
-
The full name of the oral examination is Hanyushuiping Kouyu Kaoshi (HSKK), and is split into HSKK (Primary level), HSKK (Intermediate level) and HSKK (Advanced level).
Who can apply to take the HSK?
Chinese learners from anywhere in the world can apply for the examination (without age restriction).
What kind of Chinese communicative competence do HSK levels 1-6 represent?
Passing HSK Level 1 means that you can communicate in Chinese at a basic level, and at HSK Level 2 you are more proficient and have achieved an excellent level of elementary Chinese.
Other levels can be described as follows:

HSK（Level 4）

HSK（Level 6）
