HSK 1 Practice Tests — 3 Full Tests with Audio

Printable HSK 1 practice papers, with listening recordings, answer keys and transcripts.

Three original HSK 1 practice tests for learners preparing for HSK 3.0 Level 1.

Each test has 40 items: 20 listening and 20 reading, in four listening parts and four reading parts. The papers follow the publicly described HSK 3.0 Level 1 sample format. A full sitting is about 40 minutes (listening about 12 minutes, 3 minutes to transfer answers, 20 minutes for reading, plus about 5 minutes for your name and date). Pinyin is printed over every word, as on the official HSK 1 sample paper. Vocabulary is checked against the HSK 1 word list in the 2025 HSK Syllabus (《HSK考试大纲》, CLEC).
