Your results

Every answer explained, not just marked

The official trial and most mock-test sites only tell you right or wrong. After every test here, each question shows:

  • What was said, word for word, with the words the answer comes from highlighted.
  • Why the right answer is right, including how the words you heard became the words in the option.
  • Why each wrong option is wrong: not mentioned, said about someone else, or the opposite.
  • Pinyin and an English translation of every line, question and option.
  • A replay button for that question alone, and the key words to save.

What the new HSK 5 listening looks like

The HSK 3.0 listening paper for HSK 5 has 35 questions and takes about 25 minutes. Every question has four written options, and every recording plays once.

Questions 1–10
Four-line dialogue between a man and a woman, then a question
Questions 11–19
Three longer conversations and one interview, each with two or three questions
Questions 20–35
Six talks of about a minute, each with two or three questions

At HSK 5 the right answer is usually worded differently from what you heard: you hear 看完就放着,挺可惜的 and pick 书被浪费了. Our review screen shows the words you heard next to the option they became.

How these tests are made

  • Each paper follows the official HSK 3.0 sample paper: the same parts, question counts, timing and 15- to 16-second pauses.
  • Every item uses the official HSK 3.0 word list for levels 1–5, and a second AI model has to answer each question from the recording and agree with our key.
  • The items are written and voiced with AI, then checked and heard in full by a native Chinese speaker before we publish them.

These are practice papers, not official papers. Scores are estimates. Fluentide is not affiliated with CTI (Chinese Testing International), which runs the HSK.
