★ Estimates your Chinese vocabulary size and HSK level with a short adaptive test. GoEast Mandarin Chinese Vocabulary Test is a free, no-sign-up assessment that uses about 20 adaptive questions to estimate your vocabulary size and HSK 1–9 level. After finishing, you can also download a PDF vocabulary list matched to your level.

★ Quickly estimate your Chinese vocabulary, character knowledge, and approximate proficiency level. HSKLevel is a free adaptive testing tool that estimates how many Chinese words, characters, and chengyu you know and places your results on the HSK 2.0, HSK 3.0, HSK 3.1, and TOCFL scales. Tests adjust to your answers, take only a few minutes, support both Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and require no account. Use it as a convenient level estimate rather than a complete measure of HSK exam readiness.

★ Get a quick estimate of how many Chinese characters you know in about two minutes. HanziTest is a free web-based quiz that estimates your character knowledge by asking you to select the characters you recognize. A character counts as known only if you know its pronunciation and at least one meaning, making the estimate more meaningful than simple visual recognition. The test draws from a mix of contemporary nonfiction, fiction and movie subtitles, with definitions from CC-CEDICT.

★ Get a research-based estimate of your Simplified Chinese reading vocabulary in just one to two minutes. LexCHI is a free online vocabulary test that presents 40 real words and 20 plausible-looking nonwords and asks you to identify which are genuine. Your results include a normalized Ghent Score, an item-by-item breakdown, and reference points for comparing your vocabulary with native-speaker proficiency. This unofficial implementation is designed for casual self-testing and is based on a peer-reviewed LexCHI study.

★ Get a statistical estimate of how many Chinese characters you recognize without taking a lengthy character-by-character test. WordSwing Character Knowledge Estimator samples individual Chinese characters and asks whether you know each one, using your responses to estimate your overall character knowledge. The more characters you answer, the more refined the estimate becomes, making it useful for gauging reading knowledge without tying the result to an HSK level.

★ Estimates how many Chinese words or individual characters you know based on a randomized frequency-based test. The Foreign Language Known Words Test from zhtoolkit tests approximately 200 simplified Chinese words or characters ranging from common to rare. For each item, you decide whether you know it after optionally checking the pinyin and definition. When finished, you receive an estimated total, a graph showing your knowledge across different frequency levels, and a PIN for accessing your results later.
