An HSK exam prep web app built on the new HSK 3.0 syllabus, with a full dictionary, a grammar library, a lesson roadmap and timed mock tests.
01The situation
The HSK exam is moving to the 3.0 syllabus. The first HSK 3.0 sitting is on 13 December 2026, and the old 2.0 exam ends the same month.
Most Chinese learning apps are built for casual practice and streaks. An HSK candidate has to pass a specific paper on a specific date.
02Our assessment
A learner's first question is which level they are at and what is left before exam day. Everything else follows from that.
Past papers are copyrighted, so practice has to recreate the exam formats instead of copying real items.
Content quality matters more than feature count. A wrong gloss or a wrong answer key teaches the wrong thing.
03What could be better
Put the exam at the centre. Levels, mock tests, scores and a countdown to the next sitting come first.
Make the roadmap the personal part, run on plain rules rather than a black box, with every lesson and question tagged by skill and exam section so it knows what to show next.
Follow the official course book lesson by lesson for HSK 1 to 3, so a learner with the textbook and the app is on the same page.
04What we built
An HSK 3.0 dictionary of all 10,918 words from level 1 to 9, searchable by hanzi, by pinyin with or without tones, or by English.
A grammar library across every level, and a Hanzi Map that shows every word built around one character.
A lesson roadmap where each unit walks through listening, reading, words and a check, with spaced repetition flashcards behind it.
Timed mock tests for HSK 1 to 6 and a placement test. Every answer moves the learner's roadmap.
The whole interface in English and Indonesian.
