Frequently asked questions
Is hsk.cc free?
Yes. Listening and reading practice, mock tests, writing and speaking practice and the word lists are all free, with no account.
Does it follow HSK 2.0 or HSK 3.0?
Both. Pick your exam and level once in the sidebar; practice questions, word levels and writing tasks follow it. HSK 3.0 has nine levels, with 7–9 taken as one exam.
Are the questions from real HSK papers?
The practice questions are written for hsk.cc in each part's exact format; none is copied from an official paper. The free official sample and past papers are linked in Mock tests, where you can sit them on our answer sheet and have them marked.
How accurate is the writing score?
It is an estimate from an AI model marking against the HSK writing criteria. Use it to see progress and find your weak points, not as an official result.
Which language is the feedback in?
English, Bahasa Indonesia or Chinese. Choose once and every page uses it.
Is my writing saved?
No. Your text is sent to the AI to be marked and is not stored by hsk.cc.
Is hsk.cc the official HSK website?
No. hsk.cc is independent and not affiliated with Chinese Testing International, which runs the HSK. Register for the exam at chinesetest.cn.
