Test centres

Finding an HSK test centre

The official system lists every authorised centre. The centre's own page tells you the things that actually trip people up.

Unofficial study site · every figure links to an official source

  1. On chinesetest.cn open Test Centers (考点信息) and filter by country, city and test format.
  2. Open the centre's own website and read: its deadline, its fee, how to pay, and which tests it offers.
  3. Register on chinesetest.cn with that centre, then pay the centre before its deadline.
