Chinese Testing International has now announced that the new HSK 3.0 exam will officially be held on December 13, 2026, and that from 2027, HSK 3.0 will replace the current HSK 2.0 system.
If you’re starting the school year and learning Chinese, the new HSK 3.0 features several words and expressions to help you talk about your studies.
The HSK2 3.0 2026 includes many terms and expressions that are particularly useful for traveling in China, from transportation, hotels, and restaurants to shopping, and directions.
A new global HSK 3.0 pilot test for levels 1 to 6 will take place on 20 September 2026. However, regular HSK exams in 2026 will still follow the HSK 2.0 format.
