Anon: “@Kyle 凯尔 There is an increase concern amongst students studying in China particularly for those who came in the year 2018 and 2019 there are supposedly in 3rd  and 2nd year respectively. The problem is when they came to China there was never an  obligation to pass HSK in order to graduate and now the government last year passed a law or ruling that no one should be able to graduate without passing it despite not having told us this fact when we enrolled it was just added along the way …. the exam for HSK have gotten upgraded to make it worse they now  include a lot more characters double the amount for each level. Undergraduate are to attain HSK4 more than 3000 characters and masters HSK3 about 1200. This disregards the amount of time you have to dedicate to this extra requirement as the exam are self financed each time you sit for the exam you can expect to fork out at least 500. This is affecting a lot of students those about to graduate for their masters who are stuck at home and those here in China to who have been given notices by heads of university to fulfil the requirements you can fact check this.”

Kyle: “Mmm. That’s smart, make testing mandarory, charge 500 each test.”
