How to Take the HSK 2 Exam, Step by Step

1Listening

  • Use the few seconds before each question to read the options or pictures and predict the topic.
  • Mark keywords as soon as you hear them and don’t get stuck on a hard question.
  • Watch out for numbers, times, places and negations (不, 没) – the usual traps.

2Reading

  • Read the question first, then look for the information in the text.
  • Fill-in-the-blank: decide which part of speech is needed (noun, verb, measure word…) before choosing.
  • Budget your time per question; skip a slow one, mark it and come back later.

3Writing

  • Sentence ordering: find the subject and predicate first, then place adverbials and complements.
  • Sentences and essays: keep sentences short and correct, use all given words, avoid characters you’re unsure of.
  • Save the last 2–3 minutes to check characters and punctuation.
