HSK 3.0
What is the HSK 3.0 passing score?
Updated 27 October 2026
You need 60% to pass: 120 out of 200 for HSK 1–2, and 180 out of 300 from HSK 3 upward.
Each section is worth 100 points. HSK 1 and HSK 2 have two sections (200 total), so the pass mark is 120. From HSK 3 there are three sections (300 total), so the pass mark is 180.
Score reports are generally valid for two years. Check with your test centre for the exact validity rule that applies to your sitting.
