Questions

How many words is HSK 3?

HSK 3 is 600 words in HSK 2.0, the six-level syllabus this list follows. The count is cumulative: it includes the 300 words of HSK 2 and below. This list has 599 of them, the ones with a Kilo Lingo word page so far. HSK 3.0, the 2021 standard with nine levels, is bigger: its level 3 is 2,245 words.

How long does HSK 3 take?

The official HSK 2.0 guidance pitches HSK 3 at learners who have had three semesters (a year and a half) of classes at 2 to 3 hours a week. Treat it as a rough guide: it counts class time only, and self-study, regular drilling and any Chinese you already know move it a lot either way.
