硕士 is pronounced shuòshì and means “maestro”. You will meet it in HSK 4, a band of the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi — the standard test of Chinese proficiency. Most learners can pick 硕士 out of a list long before they can reach for it unprompted, and the gap between those two closes only with repeated recall.
