2. Admission Ticket (Mandatory)

• How to Obtain:
  • Download and print it from the HSK official website (www.chinesetest.cn) after registration.
  • Check that your name, test level, date, time, and test center address are correct.
• Format:
  • Print in color or black-and-white (but ensure clarity).
  • Some test centers may accept a digital copy on your phone, but it’s safer to bring a printed version.

3. Additional Items (Optional but Recommended)

• Stationery:
  • 2B pencils (for filling in answer sheets in paper-based tests).
  • Eraser (in case of mistakes).
  • Black/Blue Pen (for the writing section, if allowed).
• Headset (For Online Tests):
  • If taking the online version, bring a wired headset (some centers may provide one, but it’s better to bring your own to avoid technical issues).
• Water Bottle (Optional):
  • Some test centers allow sealed water bottles. Check your center’s rules in advance.

4. Prohibited Items (Avoid Bringing)

• Electronic Devices:
  • Smartphones, smartwatches, tablets, or any device with internet access (unless required for the online test).
• Study Materials:
  • Textbooks, notes, dictionaries, or flashcards.
• Other Restricted Items:
  • Food, large bags, or sharp objects (check your test center’s specific rules).

5. Special Considerations

• Health & Safety (COVID-19 or Similar Situations):
  • Some test centers may require:
    • Health Declaration Form (pre-filled).
    • Negative COVID-19 Test Result (within 48–72 hours).
    • Face Mask (mandatory in most centers).
  • Check the official HSK website or your test center’s email for updates.
• Name Mismatch:
  • If your ID name differs from your registration name (e.g., due to marriage, nickname), contact the test center in advance to resolve the issue.
