HSK 1 Study Plan: Pass in About 3 Weeks

A week-by-week plan for absolute beginners: HSK 1 vocabulary, audio, quizzes, and mock-test timing.

HSK 1 is the entry level — greetings, numbers, basic verbs, and daily phrases. Most beginners can pass after a few weeks of consistent study if they finish the word list and practice listening.

Week 1 — Foundation

Week 2 — Finish the list

Week 3 — Exam mode

When most words feel familiar by ear and in writing, book the test. Read how the HSK test works before you register.
