HSK 2 reading drill

Twenty minutes of reading only, at second-level difficulty: gap filling, short notices and passages, matching and sentence building. Use it when the gap report says your listening is ahead of your reading, or when you want to practise the item types without the pressure of a recording. Everything here is original HSK Guide material and this is not an official paper.

Starting a paper needs an account, so the timer, autosave and your gap report can be stored against you. Create account · Log in The first section is included on the free plan.

Unofficial practice material

This is unofficial practice material written for HSK Guide. It is not a past paper and is not endorsed by any examination authority.The section lengths, the timings and the scoring below are HSK Guide’s own practice settings, chosen so that a wrong answer points at one identifiable skill. They do not describe any examination authority’s rules — confirm those with your test centre.

Sections

What the paper contains

1 sections, 18 questions, 20 minutes of section time.

  1. Reading only

    Reading20 minutes18 questions18 total score

    Eighteen items. Read the whole line before you answer: at this level most wrong options are real words in the wrong slot, or true statements that answer a question nobody asked.

Questions, options and answers are not shown on this page — the paper is only meaningful if you meet it for the first time inside the timer.

Before you start

Timing, audio and how the run is protected

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.

Total: 20 minutes.

Learning mode

No timer. Audio can be replayed freely and answers are explained immediately.

Audio

This paper has no section with an audio policy attached, so nothing here is played on a fixed schedule.

The play count and the seek and pause rules are stored on each section rather than hard-coded in the player, so an editor can change them without a deployment.

Saved

  • Answers autosave as you go — a refresh or a dropped connection loses nothing.
  • The deadline lives on the server, so the client clock is never trusted.
  • You can flag a question and come back to it while section time remains.

Your result

What you get when you submit

A score is the least useful part of a mock examination. The report is built to change what you study tomorrow.

By section

A score per section and per skill, so a listening problem cannot hide behind a good reading result.

Accuracy by question type

Accuracy broken down by question type — matching, cloze, ordering, true/false — because they fail for different reasons.

Vocabulary gaps

The exact words the wrong answers tested, taken from the diagnostic tags on each question.

Grammar gaps

The patterns behind the wrong answers, each linking straight to its grammar lesson.

Time per question

Where you stalled. A slow correct answer is a different problem from a fast wrong one.

Readiness estimate

An estimate against your target level, built from coverage, recall strength and recent results.
