冲动 is pronounced chōngdòng and means “xung động; thôi thúc”. HSK 6 places it in the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, the standardised measure of Chinese proficiency. There is a real difference between having seen 冲动 and being able to use it, and cramming a list flatters the first while doing little for the second.
