So I was looking over the New HSK site http://english.hanban.org/node_8002.htm
and was wondering how each of the levels correspond to the vocabulary/fluency of a native speaker.
For example on the site it says that "Test takers who are able to pass the HSK (Level VI) can easily comprehend written and spoken information in Chinese and can effectively express themselves in Chinese, both orally and on paper."
But when does the average native Chinese speaker in China reach the level indicated by New HSK VI? High School level education? 4 year college? Later?
Does passing New HSK level 6 indicate that you have a level of language proficiency equivalent to being able to function as a native speaker, or does it just show that you have memorized vocabulary that is of a certain difficulty level?
Thanks, sorry if my question is unclear ^_^'
