2025 HSK Test Dates: ALL You Need to Know
📌 HSK Exam Overview: What It Is and Exam Formats
The HSK (汉语水平考试 Hàn yǔ Shuǐ píng Kǎo shì) is the official standardized test for Mandarin Chinese proficiency. Designed by Hanban/Confucius Institute Headquarters, it evaluates the language skills of non-native speakers, including students, professionals, and anyone interested in learning Chinese.
The exam is divided into levels:
- HSK 1–6: Covers beginner to advanced levels.
- HSK 7–9: Aimed at advanced learners and professionals requiring specialized Chinese skills.
Exam Formats🖥️📝
- Paper-Based Exam (笔试 Bǐ Shì)
At an official HSK test center, you will be seated at a desk equipped with question papers and answer sheets. Your answers must be written using either a 2B pencil or a pen.
- Internet-Based Exam (网考 Wǎng Kǎo)
To register for a computer-based HSK test, you must choose an official test center that offers computer network-based testing services. Just like the paper-based test, the computer-based exam is conducted under the strict supervision of invigilators. This format offers faster result processing.
