How this tool works

Use hsk checker with a clear learning goal

Estimate how a Chinese passage maps to the HSK 3.0 character inventory. The checker reports unique Hanzi coverage, the highest mapped level, the distribution across levels, and characters outside the bundled curriculum data.

1

Paste a passage

Free analyzes the first 15 Hanzi; Pro expands passage analysis to as many as 5,000 Hanzi.

2

Read the distribution

Compare unique-character counts across HSK 1 through the combined 7–9 band.

3

Inspect unmapped Hanzi

Review names, rare forms, or curriculum-external characters instead of treating them as automatic proof of difficulty.

When to use it

Choose reading material

Compare a passage with the learner's current character coverage before assigning it.

Adapt a lesson

Find advanced or unmapped characters that may need a gloss or pre-teaching.

Check your own writing

See whether a draft relies heavily on vocabulary beyond an intended HSK band.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about hsk checker

Does the checker grade grammar?

No. It maps individual Hanzi to the bundled HSK 3.0 data and does not score grammar or comprehension.

Why is a common name marked unmapped?

Personal names and specialized terms often sit outside curriculum lists even when a learner can understand them.

Are repeated characters counted once?

Coverage and level distribution use unique Hanzi, while the text-size figure also reports total Hanzi.
