songwen Posted March 19, 2015 at 05:21 AM Report Posted March 19, 2015 at 05:21 AM I was just wondering if anyone knows if all HSK exams are scheduled at the weekends and if not, which centre(s) offer the test on week days? I work at a training school and have to teach every weekend. Ideally I'd prefer not to have to take the exam during a vacation but if there's no other option then the weekend will have to do. Thanks for your help! Quote

zhouhaochen Posted March 20, 2015 at 03:40 PM Report Posted March 20, 2015 at 03:40 PM HSK exams in China all take place at the same time and day. When we have the exams at LTL there is even a QQ group where all the test centres can talk to the Hanban computing staff regarding technical issues (and there seem to be many! My favourite question so far was from a distressed admin fearing mass fraud when she thought that all the foreigners who turned up did not look at all like the pictures in their passports) that need to be sorted out immediately because the beginning of the exams cannot be delayed (like not even by a minute, it is a computer program that starts them automatically in all test centers at the same time). HSK exams are scheduled on Saturday or Sunday once a month. There is talk about upping this to twice a month, but I have no idea on which day of the week that would be, if it happens. I would assume also weekends though, because that is when most people have time and that is when HSK exam centers like our school have the resources available to do it (we would not have enough space, computers and people available Mon-Fri when classes are taking place) and because the exams are at the exact time (to avoid cheating) I do not think this will change. This is the exact schedule of all hsk exam dates for 2015. Depending on the level you want to take, your exam will be in the morning or afternoon, so you will probably have to take half a day off. 1 Quote
songwen Posted April 5, 2015 at 01:06 PM Author Report Posted April 5, 2015 at 01:06 PM Okay thanks for the info. I was planning to just do the first one but now I might study a bit harder and try to do two exams on one day instead. Quote
