Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK)
The Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK) is an international standardized assessment measuring non-native speakers' ability to understand and use Mandarin Chinese. Organized by the Chinese government, it evaluates reading, listening, and sometimes writing skills across six levels, from beginner (Level 1) to advanced (Level 6). The test helps students, professionals, and institutions gauge language proficiency, track progress, and qualify for academic programs or job opportunities requiring Chinese language skills. Results are used worldwide, promoting Chinese language learning and cultural exchange.
