How many levels are there in the HSK test?

In the current version of HSK 2.0, the written test consists of HSK-Levels 1-6, while the oral test consists of three tiers: HSKK (Elementary level), HSKK (Intermediate level), and HSKK (Advanced level). The HSK 3.0 refers to an additional range of levels—7 to 9—which are assessed in a single comprehensive test.
 

How is the HSK test structured?

The HSK test format comprises two independent examinations: a written test and an oral test. The written test includes sections on listening comprehension and reading comprehension, additionally writing tasks for HSK Level 3 and upper levels. The oral test is categorized into three levels: Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced. Sound recording devices are utilized during the oral evaluation.
