HSK 4 listening practice questions
10 HSK 4 listening questions with the answer to each one, in the order the HSK 3.0 paper asks them. They come from the same reviewed bank as the mock exams on this site, and none of them appears on a paper you can sit here, so working through these spends nothing.
Compared with HSK 3, the prescribed vocabulary more than doubles, from 1,000 words to 3,245, the CEFR band moves from A2 to B1. On the paper itself, sentence gap-fill and short composition appear for the first time, picture matching, sentence matching and write the character drop out, the writing minimum rises from 200 characters to 300.
