HSK 4 vocabulary list

HSK 4 tests upper-intermediate proficiency, requiring 600 new words (1,200 cumulative) to discuss a wide range of topics and converse fluently with native Chinese speakers. The test takes about 105 minutes across three sections: Listening (45 questions, 30 minutes), Reading (40 questions, 40 minutes), and Writing (15 questions, 25 minutes), including 5 minutes for answer sheets. With each section scored out of 100, passing requires 180 out of 300 points. HSK 4 is widely used as the minimum language requirement for undergraduate admission at Chinese universities. Learn how the 3.0 reform re-allocates these words in our HSK 3.0 explainer. Review vocabulary across themed topics or drill HSK 4 vocabulary with spaced repetition to build lasting fluency.
