About HSK 4

HSK 4 requires 1,200 words and about 105 minutes. The listening passages are longer, the reading includes short articles, and the writing section asks you to arrange words into sentences. This is the level where most learners transition from "survival Chinese" to real conversation.

The jump from HSK 3 to HSK 4 is significant — you double your vocabulary and the test starts to feel like actual language use rather than phrase matching.

How to master HSK 4 reading

HSK 4 reading introduces short passages, not just sentences. Practise reading one short article a day and underline the main idea. Build reading speed with a timer — you have about one minute per question. Our HSK 4 workbook includes reading passages with comprehension questions.

For listening, the key is to read the question options before the audio starts. The distractors are often close in meaning, so listen for the specific detail, not just the general topic.
