From the Chinese Test Service HSKK introduction. An older candidate bulletin lists slightly longer totals (about 20 / 23 / 25 minutes). Follow the timing your centre gives you. Each level is scored out of 100; 60 is a pass. Chinese Test Service: HSKK introduction (tasks, timing, intended learners)

Is HSKK the same exam as HSK?

No. They are registered and scored separately. HSKK has Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels, roughly matching HSK 1–2, 3–4 and 5–6.

What is in each level?

Beginner: listen and repeat, listen and answer, then two printed questions with pinyin (at least five sentences each). Intermediate: listen and repeat, talk about a picture, answer questions. Advanced: listen and retell, read aloud, answer questions. Formats follow the official HSKK introduction on chinesetest.cn.

Are these official papers?

No. Every prompt and recording is original. We never use official or recalled papers.

HSK Sprint is an independent practice service, not affiliated with CLEC, Chinese Testing International or the official HSK / HSKK. All prompts and audio are original, not official or recalled papers. Timers follow official section totals, split for single-item practice. Recordings stay in your browser and are never uploaded.
