Speaking is compulsory from New HSK 3.
At level 3 the oral paper opens with listen-and-repeat — the exercise MaiSay scores you on every day.
Your class covers the syllabus. MaiSay gives you short, scored speaking practice between classes.
You can already say 28 of 300 New HSK 1 words.
Your 12-day speak-streak and your 12 words to review come with you.
Exam centres still run the old HSK; the new one is official and piloted, with no start date announced. This track follows the New HSK, and says so wherever it names a level.

No handwriting, no essay scoring, no grading of open answers. This track is the words, the listening, and the speaking — practice between classes, not a mock exam.
