About HSK Partner · 关于我们
Built for HSK 3.0 — not the exam it replaced.
In 2021 the HSK moved from six levels to nine, added a speaking paper and raised the vocabulary ceiling to 11,000 words. This platform was built from that standard document — not retrofitted onto material written for the old exam.
Independent — not an exam centre

01
Mission & vision
Make one standard legible to everyone who studies for it.
A learner should be able to open one site, know which level they are at, follow a plan built for that level, and walk into the exam with nothing left to guess — regardless of where they live or which textbook they used before.
Mission
使命Give every learner one honest path from their first 300 words to HSK 9.
Aligned to the current standard — not to the one an old textbook was written for. No side quests, no outdated drills, no deciding what to study next.
Vision
愿景Where you live should not decide how well you can prepare.
Preparing for HSK 3.0 should not depend on having a good teacher nearby, an expensive course, or a shelf of out-of-date books.
01
Alignment over volume
300 words that are exactly on syllabus beat 3,000 that are almost right.
02
Clarity over choice
One plan, one next step. An endless library is where progress stalls.
03
People over tickets
An assistant answers fast. A person answers the questions that matter.
The story
See how the platform works
The standard changed. Most study tools did not.
For years, HSK prep meant six levels and a vocabulary ceiling of roughly 5,000 words. Learners could buy a book, follow a course and feel reasonably sure it matched the exam.
HSK 3.0 replaced that with nine levels in three tiers, speaking built into the exam, and 11,000 cumulative words. Overnight, a lot of existing material pointed at the wrong target — and learners had no easy way to tell.
HSK Partner was built to close that gap. Not another content library, but one path: know your level, follow a weekly plan, practise the real exam format, and prove you are ready before you book.
What actually changed
Per the published HSK 3.0 syllabus
Previous HSK
Six levels, no speaking paper
HSK 3.0
Nine levels, speaking included
Vocabulary
11,000 cumulative words
Advanced tier
HSK 7–9 one exam
HSK 7–9 is scored as a single exam: your result places you at level 7, 8 or 9. The same syllabus drives every lesson, flashcard and mock on this site.
What we think about practice
Aim matters more than effort. Fifteen focused minutes at the right level beat three hours of guessing.

Timeline
How the standard got here
Understanding the shift explains why so much study material no longer lines up with the exam.
Dates describe the official standard and exam schedule. They are not company milestones.
-
1992
The HSK is introduced
A standardised proficiency test gives learners of Chinese a single benchmark for the first time.
-
2010
Six levels become the norm
The revised HSK (levels 1–6) takes over from the original scale. Textbooks, apps and courses built around it are still the majority today.
-
2021
HSK 3.0 is published
Nine levels in three tiers, 11,000 cumulative words, and a speaking paper from level 3. Everything on this site follows this document.
-
2026
The nine-level exam rolls out
The new test is scheduled to launch worldwide. Material written for six levels no longer points at the right target.
03
Verification
How we verify every word
Every claim on this site traces back to a published document. No lesson reaches a learner before it passes all four checks below.
01
Source mapping
Every word and grammar point is checked against the HSK 3.0 vocabulary and grammar lists for its level. Anything outside that level's list stays out of that level's plan.
02
Exam-format review
Paper structures, question types and timings are rebuilt from the published exam specifications — including the same-day speaking paper required from HSK 3.
03
Language QA
Teachers can correct any question or lesson, and AI drafts stay hidden from learners until a teacher approves them.
04
Learner feedback loop
Reported errors are checked against the source and corrected. Tell us the level and question number and it goes into the review queue.

Limits
Limits we would rather state than hide
Being clear about what this platform is not is part of being trustworthy.
Not
An exam centre
We cannot register you for a test, administer it, or issue an official certificate.
Not
Affiliated with HSK
We follow the published syllabus, but we are not the exam administrator and have no official partnership.
Not
A content library
There is no endless catalogue to browse. The plan decides what you study and when.
Not
A replacement for a teacher
We provide structure, practice and feedback at scale. A teacher provides judgement. Many learners use both.
06
Support
Behind the assistant, there are people
The assistant handles the fast, repeatable questions. Anything involving money, access or a disputed result goes to the support desk — with a reply window, not a "we'll get back to you".

About the platform
Quick answers
No. HSK Partner is an independent study platform. We follow the published HSK 3.0 syllabus, but we are not the exam administrator and cannot register you for a test or issue official certificates.
Everything on the site follows HSK 3.0 — nine levels in three tiers, with HSK 7–9 treated as one advanced exam. Word counts, exam timings and paper structures are listed per level on the Levels page.
From the published HSK 3.0 vocabulary and exam specifications. Each item passes the four checks described above. If something does not match the official material, send the level and question number and we will correct it.
Your plan already follows HSK 3.0, so the rollout does not reset your progress. Exam timings and paper structures are updated as official details are published.
Yes. Lessons, flashcards, mock exams and the support panel all work on a phone without zooming or horizontal scrolling. Progress follows your account across devices.
