HSK Level Quiz
This Mandarin level quiz is based on official HSK testing criteria and is designed to help students quickly and effectively determine their current Chinese language level.
Results are instant and completely free. We often use this form of Mandarin self-assessment to help place students into our Chinese group classes, and it was such a good tool we couldn't keep it to ourselves :)
Please attempt to answer every question below. The test is deigned to be too difficult for certain levels to complete so if you do not understand a question then don't attempt to guess it, you can simply move on by selecting "I do not understand this question" as this will give you the most accurate results.
Good luck!
What is the HSK?
The Hànyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì (HSK), or Chinese Proficiency Test, is a standardized exam designed to assess the Chinese language proficiency of non-native speakers, including foreigners, overseas Chinese, and ethnic minorities in China. It is the most widely recognized Chinese language test, used for academic admissions, work qualifications, and personal language learning goals.
