Is an online HSK test available?
HSK is held in two forms: internet-based test and paper-based test. You need to register for a network-based test at a testing center that provides computer network-based test service. The computer network-based test shall be completed under the supervision of invigilators, the same as the paper-based test.
After the completion of registration, can I change the test level?
If the test fee has not been paid, you can cancel your registration before its deadline and re-apply for a new level. If the payment has been completed, you cannot change the test level.
How can I change my personal information that is found to be incorrect after I’ve received the report of test score?
If you, after receiving the report of test score, find such information as your name, nationality and gender is incorrect, you can log in the HSK test service website, www.chinesetest.cn, opt to apply for duplicates of the HSK score report on the “Personal Center" page, edit the item(s) that needs to be modified, and upload a copy of your relevant identification (passport or identity card). After the modification has passed the review by the CTI, you need to pay a certain fee before the CTI sends a remade test score report to your designated address.
