HSK 1 and 2.
The first two HSK levels test listening and reading, and they reward knowing the paper as much as knowing Chinese. This course walks through each part of the test, drills the words that appear most, shows the traps that cost marks, and ends with a short mock paper and a plan for exam day.
A day is marked done when you pass its quiz at the end: get 5 of its 8 questions right.
Regular sittings use the six-level HSK 2.0 papers until HSK 3.0 opens on 13 December 2026. Check which your booking names; the HSK guide explains the difference. Assumes the daily course to about day 20.
