Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK)

It evaluates listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills across six levels, ranging from beginner (Level 1) to advanced (Level 6). The HSK is widely recognized by educational institutions and employers in China and serves as a key credential for those looking to study, work, or live in Chinese-speaking environments. It helps learners gauge their language ability and set goals for improvement in their Chinese studies.
