Preparing for this qualification
- Official new syllabus: published November 2025, states implementation July 2026. Official worldwide launch notice: 13 December 2026. Confirm the booked session version with the test centre. Acquired HSK3_yj samples are legacy. The distinct HSK 3.0 written/oral sample members and audio are now archived with hashes. Teach the reviewed new tasks separately; confirm the booked version and preserve existing grammar lessons. Full vocabulary/character coverage remains in progress.
Teaching coverage still needed
- Official 3.0 sample/archive/audio provenance and productive task formats are reviewed. Full new vocabulary/character inventory and broader task practice remain; legacy materials are labelled separately. HSK2 writing-key numbering is quarantined for human review.
