HSK 7–9 tests 11,000 words: the 5,400 from the levels below, plus the 5,600 here. Of the 5,600, 1,686 were in the HSK 2.0 lists: 1 at level 1, 1 at level 4, 102 at level 5 and 1,582 at level 6. HSK 7–9 is one exam for three levels, so the syllabus gives one list for all three. For the rest of what changed, read our guide to HSK 3.0.

A note on Purlingual: the app teaches these new lists, HSK 1 to 6, in chapters by topic. HSK 7–9 isn’t in the app yet. The 1 linked words each have a page in our HSK vocabulary lists.

All 5,600 words, by first letter

The list is long, so it’s split into seven pages by the first letter of the pinyin, in the syllabus’s own order.
