Following our recent upgrade to the Popup Chinese platform, we're pleased to support a new type of HSK question: the reading passage. In these questions you will be given a number of short passages and then asked a series of questions about them. Although the grammar and vocabulary used at this level are relatively straightforward, you are expected to be able to skim the passages. Complete today's sample HSK test in ten minutes to stay on time.

Note for subscribers: we've included recordings of all passages and questions used here as part of our regular lesson mp3 for this HSK test. You may find this useful to help with preparing for the listening exercises. So good luck, and feel free to contact us or leave a note below if you have any questions.
