HSK 2 Test Introduction

The HSK 2 is the second level of the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, or Chinese Proficiency Test. It doubles the 150 words of the HSK 1 with a total of 300 words. While still equivalent to a relatively low level of proficiency, preparing for the HSK 2 will allow you to get by in simple conversations and daily tasks.

Like the HSK 1, the HSK 2 does not include a writing part. In other words, you’ll only have to do reading and listening on the test. Like all HSK exams, each section has 100 points. Also like the HSK 1, you will be given the Pinyin along with the Chinese characters.

As the second of six tests, the HSK 2 is designed for simple, direct communication. It corresponds to A1, or some claim A2, proficiency per the CEFR. This level can be considered a bridge from the Chinese beginner stage to intermediate.
