How many words are in new HSK 3?
The 2025 exam syllabus has 1,000 cumulative vocabulary entries through Level 3, including 500 first introduced at this level. Counts follow numbered syllabus entries, so homographs and readings may have separate entries.
Is this the 2021 HSK 3.0 word list?
No. This is the November 2025 exam syllabus, effective July 2026. The 2021 proficiency standard is a separate list with different counts. Our older HSK pages preserve their HSK 2.0 and 2021 labels.
What do parentheses and numbers after a word mean?
We preserve the official annotation, such as 1（4） for 半: its first listed use is at Level 1, with another part of speech introduced at Level 4. Numbers appended to terms distinguish separate dictionary entries. A word’s inclusion does not put every sense at the same level.
Can I download the list?
Yes. The CSV includes each official entry number, level annotation, term, pinyin, part of speech and PDF page. It contains entries introduced at this level; study the earlier levels as well.
