And, you are more comfortable writing things down in Chinese now. The more proficient you are, the better, but the requirements vary from school to school.
At HSK6, you should be at ease with most aspects of Mandarin in personal, academic or professional settings. In case you are wondering, HSK6 roughly corresponds to the language level of a 6 to 7th-grade school kid in China. If you live in China, make full use of your time and immerse yourself in the environment. Read news, magazines, novels, or blogs in Mandarin. Learn big words and idiomatic expressions.
Find people to practice using them, and ask them to correct you whenever you say wrong. But if you can budget hours of studying Mandarin each week and stick to it, you should be able to reach true proficiency in years.
By then, perhaps only native speakers can use Chinese better than you. Your Mandarin proficiency allows you to do cool things: summarize ideas and construct strong arguments.
And according to the 9-year education curriculum framework established by the State Education Commission of China, Chinese students should have a mastery of 3, characters by the time they finish middle school 9th grade. In the present era, you can barely get anything at all without pointing someone at the corresponding paper with a stamp on it, especially in China.
So an HSK certificate can be a real asset. To make sure you can handle the course load, most of them would require you to pass a high-level HSK test such as HSK5 or HSK6 before they can accept you into an academic program based on Mandarin. HSK also helps you to get a scholarship from the Chinese government. For professionals, HSK can be used as proof of language competency for job applications to Chinese companies and multinationals. In this case, you want to prove it by demonstrating an HSK certificate that is widely recognized.
Besides, the HSK certificate never expires and will always be a good testament to your Chinese proficiency. This will give you some flexibility for your future, whether or not you think you need an HSK certificate right now. The HSK certificate also comes in handy when you apply for a work permit in China.
China now implements a work permit scoring system through which every foreigner is graded according to their background, qualifications, and skills. You can view the official work permit points table here. Outside of the academic and professional realm, the HSK may not seem that important on the surface, but it can still be very useful. Many Chinese learners use HSK levels and HSK test reports for self-assessment so that they can define more clearly what they need to work on , and work out what they would like to achieve at the next stage of Chinese studies.
Aiming for higher HSK levels is also a great way to make the transition from an intermediate learner to an advanced learner. Motivation in language learning always matters. Sitting an exam requires a lot of study. In preparation for an HSK test, you have to set aside time to study specific materials that might be completely unrelated to your goal.
If your goal is speaking Chinese, that time you spend listening, reading, writing, doing grammar drills and practice tests to meet the HSK test requirements will be the time you could have used to improve your speaking skills. After all, the only thing that matters in the real world is your true language skills, not a test grade. There are a few ways you can work out your HSK level. If you are looking for something a little more formal, you can take a free HSK sample test.
Even the English level of Chinese people is comparatively high in Asia, but Chinese people will be definitely thrilling if their business partner can speak some Chinese. Reason 2 : The HSK is a pre-requisite for those foreigners would like to study in a Chinese university,.
Passing the test is necessary if you intend to enroll into a university degree in China. Depending on the major you would want to take, levels between are required. That would be a bonus. Reason 4 : There is also the fourth reason, which is the one I would choose. I find HSK tests useful, because they give you a specific goal and framework to work with. This is especially important with language studies because having a specific goal in mind — such as passing the HSK test of the desired level — will keep you motivated on the long run.

Although not entirely similar, my own Chinese Text Analyser is also a progress tracking tool, built on a similar premise marking words and keeping track of which ones you know although it has an emphasis on reading texts, rather than going through word lists. I will try your tool, I began to make a desktop software few years ago but never took the time to finish it. I'll try to stick as much as possible to the HSK vocab and make every addition to revolve around it.
Well that was fun. I like the nice clear layout and the large characters are excellent for someone like me who has "old eyes".
I checked it out on my tablet and it works fine in my browser, so this means I can use the tool away from my desk too. There is lots more on this site and the characters are a bit on the small side for me, but there is this sort of thing out there. This is not to put you off but you said "Maybe a similar tool exists but if so I never found it. I've added a new quiz to HSK Check: given a Chinese sentence with shuffled words, you'll have to rebuilt it according to the English translation.
As long as it doesn't turn green and load a new sentence, it means that the order is wrong. Skip if too hard by clicking the Skip button.
