Mock examinations
Timed practice written for HSK Guide. The length, the timing and the scoring are our own practice settings rather than an official paper — every attempt ends with a gap analysis.
Every paper below is timed on the server, follows the audio rules recorded for each of its sections, and ends in a gap report that tells a missing word apart from a missing rule — then writes the difference back into your review queue.

This is not an official paper, and the result is HSK Guide’s own estimate of where you stand — not an examination score.

HSK 2 mini diagnostic
Mini diagnosticTwenty-five minutes of original HSK Guide practice items for learners who already handle the beginner patterns and are now meeting aspect (了, 过, 在), comparison with 比, and the first two-clause sentences.

This is not an official paper, and the result is HSK Guide’s own estimate of where you stand — not an examination score.

HSK 3 grammar drill
Section practiceTwenty minutes on structure alone, at third-level difficulty: 把, result and direction complements, 得 against 地, 一 … 就 …, 除了 … 以外 …, the double-object verbs and the paired connectors. Nothing here depends on understanding a passage, so a wrong answer points at one grammar point and nothing else. Everything is original HSK Guide material and this is not an official paper.

HSK 3 mini diagnostic
Mini diagnosticThirty minutes of original HSK Guide practice items for learners moving past single-clause sentences. The material leans on the patterns that carry this level — 把, the 得 complement, two-clause connectors and comparison — and the listening is now made of exchanges rather than isolated lines. This is not an official paper, and the result is HSK Guide’s own estimate of where you stand, not an examination score.

HSK 4 mini diagnostic
Mini diagnosticThirty-five minutes of original HSK Guide practice items for learners moving into abstract material: the passive with 被, connectors that carry a whole argument (尽管, 既然, 无论 … 都 …), and passages whose point is stated once and never repeated. The third part isolates structure, so the gap report can tell a vocabulary problem from a grammar problem. This is not an official paper, and the result is HSK Guide’s own estimate of where you stand, not an examination score.

HSKK speaking examinationBeginner speaking practice
HSKK speakingA seventeen-minute speaking workout in two parts: first repeat sentences you hear, then answer everyday questions aloud. Every prompt is original HSK Guide material for beginner speakers. This is not an official paper, the timings are HSK Guide’s own practice settings, and the model answers are one good version among many — not the only acceptable reply.

Beginner speaking — two-clause sentences and “why” questions
HSKK speakingSeventeen minutes of speaking in two parts, for the sitting after the first beginner set. The sentences to repeat now run to two clauses (今天是星期六,我不用上课), so you have to hold a phrase in your head rather than echo a few syllables; and the questions ask for a reason or a description — why you like a dish, how you travelled here, tell us about your family — instead of a single fact. Every prompt is original HSK Guide material. This is not an official paper, the timings are HSK Guide’s own practice settings, and the model answers are one good version among many.

How a HSK Guide paper runs
Two modes, one report. The rules below apply to every paper in the catalogue.
Timed
The timer runs on the server, so refreshing will not give you extra time. Listening audio plays a fixed number of times, as set for this practice paper.
Learning mode
No timer. Audio can be replayed freely and answers are explained immediately.
By section
A score per section and per skill, so a listening problem never hides behind a good reading result.
Vocabulary gaps
The words and patterns the wrong answers actually tested, added to your review queue in one click.
Practice progress
Review your practice results and mistakes. These results are not a calibrated prediction of an official examination score.
Start with the level you are actually on
The placement test measures vocabulary, listening, reading, grammar and tones, then builds your first seven days.
