Free access

One practice set of every part type is free after sign-up — audio, transcripts and marking included.

Catering to all levels

Every set is labelled HSK 1 to 9 under the 2021 standard, so you always practise at the level you are sitting.

Scan vocabulary into practice sets

Snap a photo of your notebook, paste a list, or upload a document — we read it and build cards, speaking drills and quizzes automatically.

Accurate pinyin

Tones are checked by hand rather than generated, so you never drill an error a machine transcription introduced.

Master Mandarin tones

Practise full sentences and words with instant per-character feedback. Every character is scored and colour-coded so you see precisely where you slipped.

Audio recorded by Chinese teachers

Natural pronunciation and intonation at exam pace — the same voices you will hear in the listening section.

Nine levels. Pick yours.

HSK 3 (B3)

Everyday Chinese. Pinyin disappears at level 3, where speaking also becomes compulsory and the reading passages start to need real character recognition.

What learners say

4.8 / 5 from 2,140 learners who sat the exam after preparing here.

  • ★★★★★

    I sat three mock papers in the fortnight before the real HSK 3 and my score on the day was within four points of the last one. That is the part I did not expect.

  • ★★★★

    Being able to do one reading part on the bus is why I kept it up. Ten minutes is a real session here, not a token one. I would like more HSK 6 material.

  • ★★★★★

    Losing the pinyin at level 3 nearly stopped me. Practising the reading parts with it hidden, one part a day, was the only thing that got character recognition up.

    Tobiaspassed HSK 3 · Leipzig
  • ★★★★★

    The per-character tone scoring is the feature I did not know I needed. I had been saying two of my most common words wrong for a year.

    Martapassed HSK 4 · Valencia
  • ★★★★

    Transcripts after every listening item meant I could see what I had misheard rather than just that I got it wrong.

Scoring
  • Every section is scaled to 100 points; the written total is 300.
  • Pass at 180/300 — 60% of the total, with no per-section minimum.
  • No negative marking — a wrong answer costs nothing beyond the missed point, so never leave a blank.
  • Speaking is marked by an examiner and reported on a separate certificate, outside the written total.
Format
  • Recordings play once, at natural pace.
  • Characters only — no pinyin is printed from level 3.
  • Handwritten characters are assessed in the writing section.
  • Offered computer-based and paper-based; the paper exam adds answer-transfer time after listening.
