Do not merge different requirements
If a notice lists HSK and a separate speaking-test requirement such as HSKK, create a separate line for each. Copy the stated level, minimum score and date rules. If the notice only names HSK, do not invent an additional speaking threshold. Ask the institution if the wording is unclear.
Confirm the accepted test arrangement
Use the institution’s current notice and the test centre’s booking information for your intended exam date. Keep the official test name and version in your notes; similar level labels alone are not enough to assume two arrangements are interchangeable.
Prepare for the evidence you need
Schedule the required exam preparation and any separate speaking practice. Check when each result can be submitted. Our checklist links to HSK preparation resources, while leaving institution-specific scores and additional assessments for you to verify.
