Internet-Based HSK Test
To take the internet-based HSK test (also known as the computer-based HSK test), you need to sit the listening, reading, and writing (level 3-6 only) tests in an official HSK test center, where the questions are presented on a computer screen. The test is administered by CTI servers, and you must submit your answers using a keyboard and a mouse.
If you have any questions about the tests, please don't hesitate to email us at hsktest@confuciusgroningen.nl.
