HSK 4 blueprint skills practice 1
Twenty-six original questions sampling classic HSK 4 listening, reading and writing response modes. This short set has no shared multi-question audio passage, and its situation-plus-word writing prompts substitute for official picture-plus-word tasks. It is not a full paper, official past exam or calibrated score.
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.

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: 35 minutes.
Learning mode
No timer. Audio can be replayed freely and answers are explained immediately.
Audio
- Listening sample: plays once · no seeking · no pausing
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.
