Well, broadly speaking, NO, HSKK is a separate speaking proficiency test.
However, according to the official guidelines, when registering for the HSK Level 5 or 6 written test, you are required to take the HSKK Advanced (oral) test simultaneously. Usually, the HSKK exam happens after the HSK exam on the same day. In this way, HSK 6 can help you qualify the HSKK Advanced (Speaking) test.
Here’s a breakdown of the corresponding levels:
- HSK 5 and 6 tests come with HSKK Advanced for the speaking test.
- HSK 4 test come with HSKK Intermediate.
- HSK 3 tests come with HSKK Elementary.
This requirement ensures that candidates demonstrate both written and oral proficiency at advanced levels. The HSKK Advanced test evaluates your ability to express yourself fluently and accurately in spoken Chinese, which complements the advanced language skills assessed in HSK 6.
