HSK computer exam


rmpalpha

Recommended Posts

Thanks for that report.

Anyone know if computer input is standard for higher levels of the test (HSK5-6 in particular)? I'm all for practicing handwriting, but being able to type the essay would sure reduce some of the rush/stress/cramped-hand (I think). My guess is that handwriting is expected at higher levels...?

I saw one person take the HSK level 5 test on the computer in front of me (and several others were taking level 4) - but I wasn't really paying attention to what the other test takers were doing around me. I guess the major advantage of having a computer-based test is that the testing center can do all HSK level tests at once (since there is an individual listening portion for each level).

Need someone to double check this, but registering for HSK seems to have a lot less test sites than before (especially in China)? Would that be due to the computer lab requirement now you think? Or maybe I am worng and there isn't a change in the number of testing sites?

yialanliu: I agree with you that there are much fewer test sites than before. I think this may be related to the availability of computer labs, as you suggest. I've been corresponding with the San Francisco State University Confucius Institute, and they have told me that they have not yet determined the dates for when they will be offering their tests for the rest of this year. Because of this, I can't register for the Level 4 test for later this year since SFSU is not one of the options listed on the registration website. So, other testing centers could still be in the process of determining when/how often they will be offering the various HSK tests as well.

Computer based HSK exam: BICC is the only institute other than Hanban which can set up computer based HSK testing center. BICC will add 37 more Computer HSK testing site worldwide by the end of this year.

Actually I am not sure there are that many computer based testing centres right now.

Below is a list of testing centres with the 网考 tag I grabbed today from chinesetesting.cn, I counted only 37 out of 562 worldwide - none of them are in Europe. (Of course, perhaps some computer testing centres do not have the 网考 tag...)

@hibicc: do you have a list of those 37 new computer testing centres you're going to open?

I am going to appear for HSK 5 at the 地球村 centre in 五道口。HSK 5 includes a writing section - to write an 80-word passage which includes five given phrases and to write an 80-word passage on the photograph provided. I have been doing practice papers and the writing section usually gets finished in incredibly short time [all thanks to typing].

Prateeksha, on the chinesetesting.cn website, what is the name is your testing center? Does it have 网考?

By the way I think I missed some centres earlier, apparently some have the 网考 tag earlier in their name. I'll try to correct that later.

edelweis, I am not sure about this. When I was in the process of finding out the nearest HSK centre, I found 清华大学 [which for that matter is not offering 网考 at the moment]. My other classmates who have recently taken HSK told me about 地球村,so I called up to inquire and found out that they indeed have the 网考. Not sure if they are mentioned in the list.

Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Thailand, India, UAE, Russia, Sweden, Czech Republic and Singapore

I just want to confirm what prateeksha said: 地球村 in 五道口 does indeed offer the 网考试, but I want to clarify that the 地球村 is simply allowing people to enroll in the computer exam--the exam is not actually hosted at their facility--they are simply an intermiediary. I signed up at 地球村, but my exam will be at 北京广播电视大学. Anyone in 五道口 can enroll at 地球村, and when the test date approaches, they will have to return to 地球村 to get their 准考证.

I just spoke to the person who is in charge of administering HSK tests in Melbourne and they told me that all HSK testing centres in Australia offer pen-and-paper HSK exams only, can someone confirm or deny this?
