Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi ∞
The Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi is the People's Republic of China's government-recognized spoken standard Chinese and written simplified Chinese proficiency test.
It's broken into six levels, each having a new block of characters to learn.
With clear difficulty levels and government backing, it's the clear model to use to learn the major language of China.
I'm having trouble finding tutorials and other resources which clearly separate their content by HSK, but I'll continue looking.
Reading and Writing Chinese - Third Edition - (2013 book) - It's content is clearly identified with a level, but all content is mixed together in a sort of reference-based order. Very good for higher-level learning, but perhaps overwhelming for a beginner.
