HSK Exam Schedule & Registration

The HSK exam is held multiple times per year — typically 6-8 sessions, with peak dates in March, May, June, September, November and December. The schedule is published on the official website chinesetest.cn 2-3 months before each exam. It is important to monitor updates, as individual test centers may have different dates from the main schedule.

We maintain an up-to-date HSK calendar for our students and send reminders one month before the registration deadline.

Registration opens 30-45 days before the exam date. To register you will need: a valid passport, a photo, and payment (fees vary by level and country). Registration is completed online at chinesetest.cn.

After payment you will receive an Admission Ticket with details of the venue, time and room number. We assist our students with the registration process, especially when navigating the Chinese-language interface of the website.

Accredited HSK test centers operate in more than 130 countries. In the CIS region, centers are located in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Tashkent, Almaty, Minsk and other cities. When selecting a center, consider: available levels (not all centers offer HSK 5-6), format (paper-based or computer-based IBT), location convenience, and seat availability.

We recommend registering early — popular dates fill up quickly.
