HSK practice tests & mock exams — what they include
Every mock exam here covers reading only: original short passages on the HSK 3.0 topic areas for your level, four answer choices, and explanations. The full test has a 25-minute timer; quick check has 10 questions and an 8-minute timer. Turn on Learn as you go for explanations after each answer with no timer. Question counts follow our syllabus topic selection, not the total count on an official paper.
Word counts on each level are cumulative, from HSKStory's normalized vocabulary index. Written-exam times for HSK 1–6 describe the September HSK 3.0 trial; HSK 3–6 also had corresponding oral tests. The combined advanced exam lasts about 210 minutes across five skills. Confirm your booked session's arrangements at chinesetest.cn.
Read the HSK 3.0 exam preparation guide for the trial timings and combined exam structure. Use your reading topic breakdown to plan review, alongside practice for the other skills your exam requires.
Frequently asked questions
- What's the difference between an HSK practice test and a mock test?
- Here both names describe original timed reading practice. These mock exams cover reading only, with scoring and explanations; they are not complete official exam papers.
- What does the HSK practice test include?
- Original short passages on HSK 3.0 topic areas, four answer choices, and scoring by topic. Choose a 10-question quick check with an 8-minute timer or a full reading test with a 25-minute timer; learn mode explains each answer without a timer. Our 70% practice target is not an official HSK passing score; prepare separately for other exam skills.
- Which HSK levels have practice tests?
- Choose HSK 1–6 or the combined HSK 7–9 syllabus band. HSK 1, 2, and 7–9 have 25 questions; HSK 3 has 30; HSK 4, 5, and 6 have 35. The advanced route offers one reading baseline, not separate papers for levels 8 and 9.
- Are these official HSK exam questions?
- These are original questions based on HSK 3.0 syllabus topic areas. They are reading exercises, not released CTI questions. Use the official samples and instructions for your booked exam when rehearsing a full paper.
