What is the HSK?
The Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK) is China’s national standardized test to assess the Chinese language proficiency of non-native speakers. The examination consists of two independent written test and oral tests. The written test is comprised of six levels (Level 1-6). The oral test is comprised of three levels (Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced). HSK Certificatesare issued to those who have obtained the minimum required score. More than 1 million people have taken the HSK test in 150 countries world-wide.
What are the benefits of the HSK qualification?
HSK is an important qualification for entry into academic studies at Chinese universities and employment in China.According to the regulations stipulated by the China Ministry of Education, foreign students can enroll in degree-granting major courses in a Chinese university based on their HSK test results. The HSK test results can also serve as a reference tool for employers when making recruiting decisions.
