For those unfamiliar with the HSK test, here are the basics:

Beginning in 1992, the HSK (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi) exam is China’s official test of Chinese language ability for non-native speakers.

As well as being a measure of your Chinese reading, writing, and speaking. Some employers of Chinese speaking roles will even require your HSK level.

The test is available to take in centres across the world. From 2020 students can also take an online version.

But they are also making changes to the HSK exams and how the grading system works.
