If you've done any test prep for the older HSK, something will strike you about the reading passages on the new exam: they're fairly easy, or at least easier than they used to be. Whereas the older HSK test encouraged skim-reading longer passages and answering several questions about them at once, the newer test rewards reading different shorter passages more closely, and then answering a single question about each.

Learning Chinese? On this sample HSK test, you'll find twelve questions that test you on the same grammar and vocabulary points tested for on the real exam. As with our other HSK tests, you can either quiz yourself on the materials through our online system, or download the questions (and answers) as part of our regular lesson transcript. And if you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment in our discussion space below. We look forward to hearing from you.
