What is HSK Test?
China's Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, known as the “HSK” or the Chinese Language Proficiency Test, is a standardized test developed by the HSK Center at Beijing Language and Culture University that is meant to assess the Chinese language proficiency of non-native speakers (foreigners, overseas Chinese and China’s ethnic minorities). The HSK exam aims to assess your ability to understand spoken and written Chinese, and consists of six levels: Level 1, 2, 3 (HSK Threshold); Level 4 (HSK Basic); Level 5 (HSK Elementary-Intermediate) and Level 6 (HSK Advanced). HSK certifications are issued to those who have secured the required scores. It is a widely recognized measure of one’s Chinese language proficiency level and can be used in university admissions and job applications.
