The 2023 HSK Exam Dates are Finally Here

Introduction

HSK (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi) or the Chinese Proficiency Test is an international standardized exam, which tests and rates Chinese language proficiency. It assesses non-native Chinese speakers’ abilities in using the Chinese language in their daily, academic, and professional lives. The HSK test was developed in 1984 and the first one was held overseas in 1991. Since then, the Chinese testing centers have spread over domestic and foreign lands.
