HSK 3 vocabulary FAQ
How many words are in HSK 3 (HSK 3.0)?
The November 2025 HSK 3.0 syllabus lists about 1,000 words cumulatively through HSK 3. This page has the 498 words introduced at HSK 3, for 997 in total counting the levels below. We list each word once, at the level where it first appears, so a word the syllabus re-lists at a higher level with a new sense is not counted twice — that is why the totals can sit slightly below the round targets.
How many characters do I need for HSK 3?
The HSK 3 words use 284 characters that don't appear in any lower level, for 655 distinct characters across HSK 1–3. These are counted from the word list itself, not an official character requirement. They're all shown in the character section on this page.
What changed in HSK 3 compared with HSK 2.0 and the 2021 list?
Of these 498 words, 186 were not in the old HSK 2.0 lists at all; 1 were HSK 2.0 level 1, 17 were HSK 2.0 level 2, 228 were HSK 2.0 level 3, 54 were HSK 2.0 level 4, 12 were HSK 2.0 level 5. Compared with the 2021 standard (949 words at HSK 3), 79 words kept their level, 76 moved down from a higher 2021 level, 336 moved up from a lower one, and 7 were not in the 2021 lists. The last column of the table shows each word's old HSK 2.0 level and its 2021 level.
Is there a traditional-character version of the HSK 3 list?
Yes. Every word on this page and in the CSV includes traditional characters, and the zhuyin column uses Taiwan readings. Use the script switch above the table to show simplified, traditional, or both. If you're preparing for Taiwan's TOCFL exam instead, see TOCFL vs HSK.
Can I download the HSK 3 word list as a PDF?
Yes. Use the Print / PDF button and choose "Save as PDF" — the print layout is a clean table, and it keeps whatever you've hidden, so hiding the English first gives you a self-test sheet. The CSV download opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Anki, and Pleco-friendly tools.
