What the levels mean
These HSK 3.0 lists follow the updated exam syllabus used in 2026. There are 11,000 syllabus entries across levels 1–6 and the combined advanced levels 7–9. The HSK grader uses a word’s earliest introduction; this browser also retains later entries for other readings or uses.
English meanings are brief study aids, not official exam definitions. They come from the public-domain CedPane glossary and independently written Sensoba glosses. A word’s meaning can change with context.
