What is the HSK Test?
HSK stands for Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (汉语水平考试), meaning “Chinese Proficiency Test”. It’s the world’s most well-known and acknowledged test for Mandarin Chinese proficiency.
The organizer of HSK is CLEC (formerly known as Hanban), an affiliated organization of the Ministry of Education in China that also runs Confucius Institute worldwide.
HSK predominantly tests learners’ listening, reading, writing skills in Chinese, and has no speaking section. HSK is a 100% written exam.
"Why choose Concorida HSK?"
HSK is designed for non-native Chinese speakers (foreigners and Chinese ethnic minorities) as a way of certifying their knowledge of Mandarin Chinese.
Typically, those who choose HSK want to attend university or graduate school in China, but anyone who wants to assess their Chinese level or needs to demonstrate a mastery of Chinese can take the test.
