. Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK)

1. Introduction of HSK
The new HSK test was launched by Hanban after in-depth surveys on Chinese
language teaching in other countries conducted by experts from various disciplines such
as Chinese language teaching, linguistics, psychology and educational measurement.
Taking into consideration the differences between professional learners and nonprofessional learners as well as the differences between learners living in China and
learners residing overseas, incorporating the advantages of the former HSK and making
standardized Chinese language ability test based on the Chinese Language Proficiency
Scales for Speakers of Other Languages.
According to regulations by Chinas Ministry of Education, foreign students can
enroll in degree-granting major courses in a Chinese university/college based on their
HSK test results. The HSK test results can also serve as a reference tool for employers
when making recruiting decisions.
2. HSK Levels and Test Structures

The new HSK is an international standardized exam that texts and rates Chinese
language proficiency. It assesses non-native Chinese speakers abilities in using the
Chinese language in their daily, academic and professional lives. The new HSK consists

levels of writing tests, namely the HSK (level I), HSK (level II), HSK (level III), HSK (level
IV), HSK (level V), and HSK (level VI). There are three levels of speaking tests, namely
the HSK (beginner level), HSK (intermediate level), and HSK (advanced level). During the
