Is this the real HSK 1 format?

Yes. It follows the HSK 1 sample paper that Chinese Testing International published for the new HSK (HSK 3.0), first sat worldwide on 13 December 2026: the same listening and reading sections, the same parts and question types, 40 questions and the same minutes for each section. The questions are our own, written with the words of the HSK 1 list in the 2025 syllabus.

How is it scored?

The way the HSK scores: each section out of 100, every question in it worth the same, so the paper is out of 200. The HSK has always passed 120 of 200 (60%); Chinese Testing International hasn’t published the 2026 paper’s own pass mark yet.

Are these past HSK papers?

No. Past papers belong to Chinese Testing International, and only a few are free. This is an original paper in the same format, so you can sit a whole exam and see your score, and there are 2 different papers at this level to sit. The official sample paper is free on chinesetest.cn.

How does the listening work?

As in the exam: each recording is played twice, then the next one starts, and you answer while it plays. It uses your device’s Mandarin voice; Chrome, Edge and Safari have one. With none, the page shows the words instead.

Official sample papers

Chinese Testing International’s own HSK 3.0 sample papers, with their recordings and answers, are free from chinesetest.cn.
