About HSK Prep

HSK Prep is an independent study site for the HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test). We publish free HSK 3.0 guides and word lists, full-length HSK 3.0 mock papers built to the official part counts, and a paid HSK 1–2 practice bank with explanations and mock exams.

What we are

We are not affiliated with chinesetest.cn, the Center for Language Education and Cooperation, or any test centre. HSK Prep is an independent publisher; exam names are used descriptively.

Our goal is simple: make the new HSK 3.0 format legible before the first sittings on 13 December 2026, and give candidates papers that behave like the real thing — same part counts, same shared option panels, audio that plays twice, and scoring you can trust.

How the content is made

Every factual claim about the exam is checked against the official HSK 3.0 sample papers and syllabus. Questions are drafted, then reviewed for answer key, vocabulary level, structure and duplicate stems before they reach the site. Automated gates check part counts, panel rules, image and audio assets on every build.
