FAQ
What is the difference between HSK and HSKK?
HSK tests your reading, writing, and listening skills, while HSKK focuses on your speaking ability. If you’re taking HSK Level 3 or above, you’ll need to sit for both exams.
Who can take the HSK & HSKK tests?
The exams are open to all non-native Chinese speakers, including Chinese Malaysians, who want to assess or certify their Mandarin proficiency. They’re commonly taken by students, professionals, and language learners interested in studying, working, or living in a Chinese-speaking environment.
When will I receive my results and certificate?
Results are typically released within two months after the exam. Certificates are issued by the Centre for Language Education and Cooperation (CLEC) in China and are recognised internationally.
Why choose HSK?
HSK scores have become a requirement to prove Chinese language proficiency for international students to apply for admission, graduation, and scholarship in China. For foreigners looking to work in China, a high HSK score can help demonstrate that proficiency to employers and government officials, and better the chances of obtaining a working visa. The uses of HSK scores can be found at：
- College enrollment, level learning, course exemption and course credits.
- Employee recruiting, training and advancement.
- Evaluation of quality of teaching at colleges, schools and other educational institutions.
- Heighten Chinese language learners' self-evaluation.
