What this mock test covers
Full reading test: 35 original multiple-choice questions, 5 per topic area, with a 25-minute timer. Quick check draws 10 questions across the same areas with an 8-minute timer; Learn as you go removes the timer and explains each answer. These short-passage exercises are not a copy of the official paper. Aim for 70% as our practice target; it is not an official HSK passing score.
Track a problem, its cause, and its resolution. In the broken-printer sample, the important clue is not that a meeting is scheduled, but that jammed paper explains why the office equipment stopped working.

HSK 4 practice test — questions answered
- Is this the same as an HSK 4 mock test?
- Yes. The HSK 4 mock exam is a reading-section practice test, with original passages and an explanation after scoring. The printer example asks for a cause; details about the meeting and the colleague's repair experience provide context for that cause.
- What HSK 4 reading topics does it cover?
- Seven areas contribute 35 questions to the full test: daily life, education, workplace, nature and environment, science and technology, society, and culture and traditions. HSK 4's syllabus expands into adult services, housing, personnel management, new technology, and economic conditions.
- How long is the HSK 4 practice test?
- The full reading check gives you 25 minutes for 35 questions. Quick check is 10 questions with an 8-minute timer, and learn mode removes the clock. The September level-4 trial arrangement was approximately 85 written minutes plus 20 oral minutes. A printer passage cannot measure speaking or the other written requirements; use your center's instructions for a complete rehearsal.
- Are these real HSK 4 exam questions?
- No. These are original HSK 4 study questions rather than released CTI papers. In the sample, 纸卡住了 is direct evidence for the answer. The other equipment faults may sound plausible, but the passage never states that they occurred.
- Is the HSK 4 test here aligned with HSK 3.0 (the 2026 rollout)?
- The passages cover HSK 4 topic areas, including contemporary public issues; they do not reproduce the official paper's format or grammar coverage. The syllabus lists 2,000 cumulative entries; HSKStory's normalized index has 1,978 distinct words and 990 new items. Our 70% practice target does not establish an official passing score.
