外留者 Posted December 29, 2021 at 10:22 AM Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 at 10:22 AM I have read online that the new HSK will have a handwriting component, which will even measure the speed of your handwriting. I write by hand at a snail's pace in English and it is worse in Chinese. Is this information correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becky82 Posted February 5, 2022 at 10:26 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 at 10:26 PM The new standards report that handwriting will be a requirement for HSK 3.0 (the two other additions are speaking and translation). The specifics vary from level to level, and it's not entirely clear what's required, but they include lists of characters students are expected to write at various levels. E.g. at level 1 there are 100 汉字, the writing speed is 10 characters per minute, and it says they can be 抄写 copied. At the intermediate and advanced levels the requirements are different. In total there are 300 (beginner) + 400 (intermediate) + 500 (advanced) = 1200 characters, and they are listed starting page 30. (Note: we don't really know when these new standards will be implemented, but it doesn't look like it'll be any time soon.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what to what? Can you pick the second language or is it the language local to the test center? How about if you take the test in China?
