HSK Exam Packages

The difference: 1, All HSK tests in Hong Kong are paper-based tests, HSKK will be recorded by a teacher and send to Beijing Hanban for scoring; In China(including Shenzhen and Guangzhou) the tests are computer based tests for both HSK and HSKK; 2, For HSK 3-6 students, you have to write all characters stroke by stroke in a paper-based test, but you can type and choose the characters like on your phone or computer if you take the computer-based tests, so if you learnt to read only, but not to write, you have no choice but to take the test in China, Shenzhen and Guangzhou are both super fast to reach by the high-speed train if you depart from Hong Kong; 3, The certificate issuing dates are different, the registration deadline is also different, if you miss a registration date in HK, you may can still try to get a spot for one in China. 4, The certificate issuing date is different, Hong Kong is about 2 weeks later than China. So, you can choose where you would like to go based on your situation, regarding to how to get the visa on site when you don't have one to Shenzhen, or other information you need help with, pls contact Mandarin Time Staff.
