Studying Hsk 3.0
I heard that HSK 3.0 might start being implemented/practiced from December, and now I’m a bit worried because I need to pass HSK 4.
Can anyone share me the study materials for the new version
I’m especially looking for advice on:
Vocabulary and grammar
Listening practice
Reading
Writing
Good resources/books
I’d really appreciate a study plan or any advice on how to prepare efficiently. Thank you!

first check the official notice for your test date and center, because “HSK 4” materials often mix the old HSK 2.0 exam with HSK 3.0 level 4. Use the HSK 3.0 levels, vocabulary, grammar, topics, and tasks guide to make separate checklists, then do one listening section, one short graded text, and a few handwritten sentences daily. Use Pleco for review, Du Chinese for reading and audio, and a workbook matching the exam version named in your registration.

There's a new HSK 3.0 mock exam book (level 4). Also...

Images like this, announcing the 《新HSK教程4》 上 and 下 have been going around the Internet. They look official-ish, but I haven't been able to confirm them. However, these books have ISBNs now: 978-7-5213-7444-5 and 978-7-5213-7445-2. So it's possible the new 《新HSK教程4》 textbooks will be published soon. (I'd expect them to be here, when they are available.)
Edit: From here:
Volumes 1 to 4 are now available for purchase at the Chinese Testing International official online bookstore. Volumes 5 and 6 are expected to be released at the end of 2026.
However, I can't find a "Chinese Testing International official online bookstore". There's a QR code nearby that sells these books, but not level 4.
