中文水平系列考试是为母语非中文者设立的一项国际中文能力标准化考试，为中文学习者提供科学有效的中文水平证明。受疫情影响，于2020年4月启动中文居家网考，为考生如期留学、毕业、求职等提供了便利。为进一步满足疫情期间中文学习者参加HSK（笔试、口试）、YCT、BCT等中文系列考试需求，经研究决定，2022年下半年增加9月3日、10月30日、12月10日三次考试日期，面向中国以外国家/地区开设居家网考服务。现将有关事项通知如下： 

The HSK test is a standardized Chinese proficiency test designed for non-native speakers providing certification of various levels of proficiency to Chinese learners. Due to the pandemic，in April 2020 the Internet-based Test(at-home)was made available to take online. This allows students to take the HSK test according to their schedule and facilitate their preparedness for study abroad, graduation, and job applications. To further meet the needs of Chinese learners taking the HSK (paper and oral examination), YCT, BCT and other Chinese tests during the epidemic, we offer three testing dates of the Internet-based Test(at-home)for foreign participants on September 3, October 30, and December 10, 2022.
