Important Updates for HSK and HSKK Registration
The HSK and HSKK exams are standardized tests designed to assess the Chinese language proficiency of non-native speakers and those using Chinese as a second language. In 2025, several important changes have been introduced to these exams.
Changes in HSK Levels
Since November 2022, the HSK exam system has been expanded from 6 to 9 levels for a more detailed assessment of candidates’ language proficiency. However, HSK Levels 1-6 will remain valid for the next 2-3 years, while HSK Levels 7-9 are primarily designed for advanced learners, researchers, and professionals.
| Stage | Level | Syllabel | Chinese Characters | Vocabulary | Grammar Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elementary | 1 | 269 | 300 | 500 | 48 |
| 2 | 199/468 | 300/600 | 772/1272 | 81/129 | |
| Intermediate | 3 | 140/608 | 300/900 | 973/2245 | 81/210 |
| 4 | 116/724 | 300/1200 | 1000/3245 | 76/286 | |
| 5 | 98/822 | 300/1500 | 1071/4316 | 71/357 | |
| 6 | 86/908 | 300/1800 | 1140/5456 | 67/424 | |
| Advanced | 7-9 | 202/1110 | 1200/3000 | 5636/11092 | 148/572 |
| Total | 1110 | 3000 | 11092 | 572 |
HSKK Requirement for HSK 7-9
For HSK Levels 3-6, many test centers require candidates to take HSKK (oral test) alongside HSK. However, for HSK Levels 7-9, the oral assessment is integrated into the main exam, so there is no separate HSKK test for these levels.
Exam Postponement and Fee Refund Policy
The postponement and refund policies for HSK exams vary across different test centers in Vietnam. While some centers allow candidates to cancel and receive a partial refund, most do not offer postponements or refunds under any circumstances. Therefore, candidates should carefully review the policies of their selected test center before registering.
Conclusion
We hope the information provided by Ni Hao Ma helps you prepare effectively for the HSK exam. Staying up-to-date with the latest HSKK and HSK exam schedule is essential for planning your studies and securing your registration on time.
Whether you are taking the test for study abroad, scholarships, or personal skill assessment, thorough preparation and staying informed will greatly enhance your chances of success. Best of luck on your exam!
