Glyn Posted February 26, 2022 at 08:48 PM Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 at 08:48 PM Does anyone have any information on where to obtain books regarding HSK v3? I figure if I'm going to take the test, I should study for the current version. I have a colleague in Beijing who has not been able to find anything for me.

Jan Finster Posted February 27, 2022 at 08:11 AM Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 at 08:11 AM I would just use the old books for now and pick and mix from them what you need for the new HSK levels. Afterall, the language has not changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyn Posted March 1, 2022 at 01:00 AM Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 at 01:00 AM True, but the test requirements HAVE changed. I am having trouble finding the grammar points for each of the new levels. I found a vocabulary list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackie1402 Posted March 1, 2022 at 06:28 AM Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 at 06:28 AM As far as I'm aware there aren't any new textbooks for V3 out yet, and I usually browse the book shops over here (Hangzhou) weekly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Edit: maybe they have; see my later post.) To the best of my knowledge, the last updates were this QQ post and this tweet (from April last year), wherein the new HSK7-9 is supposed to be rolled out this month (March 2022). They say that HSK1-6 won't be changed until afterwards, and then they will implement the changes gradually over 3-5 years. Quote 因此，HSK将依据《标准》，在保持现有六个级别考试稳定的基础上，首先增加HSK7-9级，形成“三等九级”考试等级体系，现行的HSK1-6级考试近期不会调整。 …… 依据《标准》科学研制HSK7-9级需要一个过程，目前计划于2021年12月试考，2022年3月正式推出考试。 …… 未来3-5年HSK1-6级将会依据《标准》和各国中文学习者实际情况，逐步进行调整，总体上将继续秉承“以学习者为中心”的理念，坚持考教结合、循序渐进的原则，在《标准》所规定的范围内进行适度调整。 It's possible to study the HSK 3.0 vocabulary using the official pdf (version without watermark), which also lists out the HSK 3.0 grammar points; note the addition of handwriting, translation, and speaking components. Besides this, there's not much in the way of study materials (although Chinese Zero to Hero was quick off the mark to make a series of videos). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becky82 Posted March 2, 2022 at 05:42 AM Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 at 05:42 AM It seems a HSK 3.0 grammar book was just released recently: 国际中文教育中文水平等级标准·语法学习手册（初等）. It's a grammar book for the elementary level: HSK 3.0 levels 1-3. It's by the same lead author 刘英林 as the new standards. It's for sale at Jingdong, Taobao, and Dangdang; note that the Dangdang link contains the whole table of contents, matching the HSK 3.0 standards. The QQ page says this book was released last month, and that the intermediate and advanced levels will be released in the third or fourth quarter of 2022: Quote 《语法学习手册（初等）》已于2022年1月出版，中等和高等分册预计2022年第三、四季度出版，欢迎订购及持续关注。 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyn Posted March 15, 2022 at 11:52 PM Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 at 11:52 PM Thank you, everyone! The Jingdong international site is down at the moment, and my Chinese is not quite good enough to order online, but I have a friend who will help me out. Thanks!
