WHAT IS THE HSK CHINESE TEST?
The HSK (Hànyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì or Chinese Proficiency Test) is China’s only standardised test of Standard Chinese language proficiency for non-native speakers such as foreign students, overseas Chinese, and members of ethnic minority groups in China, assesses non-native Chinese speakers’ abilities in using the Chinese language in their daily, academic and professional lives. HSK consists of six levels, namely HSK (level I), HSK (level II), HSK (level III), HSK (level IV), HSK (level V), and HSK (level VI).
The test is administered by Hanban (Office of Chinese Language Council International), a non-government organisation affiliated with the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China.
The HSK test was first created in 1984 and officially became a national standardised test in 1992. It developed rapidly in the years 2000: The state press agency Xinhua estimates that in 2010, 203 test centres in 69 countries allowed 750,000 candidates to take the HSK — of which 670,000 were non-Chinese.
