Free HSK 1 Practice Test: Listening & Reading Style Drills
Warm up with HSK 1–style skills: tones, common vocabulary, and simple sentences. Static mini-quiz on this page; live listening and sentence builder in the TianTian PWA — no install required.
Classic HSK 1 focuses on listening and reading with a small vocabulary (150 words) and very simple grammar. Speech is slow and clear; items check whether you recognize words, tones, and short sentences.
Skills tested
Tones and common vocab by ear
Simple sentences (identity, location, time, questions)
Reading short character / pinyin prompts
Disclaimer: This page offers practice drills inspired by HSK 1 skills, not an official Hanban / Chinese Testing International exam. TianTian is not an official HSK partner.

How to score yourself honestly
Aim for calm accuracy, not speed at first
If you miss more than ~2 of 6 above, review the theme (negation, measures, questions) before a longer mock.
Missed tones → tone pairs
Revisit mā / má / mǎ / mà style drills and listen twice in-app.
Missed word order → sentence builder
Rebuild the sentence tap-by-tap until the order feels automatic.
