Download the HSK 4 list (CSV)Is this the new or the old HSK 4 list?
This is the new list from the HSK syllabus published in November 2025, which takes effect from July 2026. It splits the test into nine levels and asks for more words at each one. The older HSK 2.0 (2010) had six levels and 1,200 words in total up to level 4. Test centers are switching over during 2026, so check your registration: if your sitting still uses HSK 2.0, study the older list instead.
| New HSK (2025 syllabus) | HSK 2.0 (2010) | |
|---|---|---|
| Words up to level 4 | 2,000 | 1,200 |
| Levels | 9 (7 to 9 tested together) | 6 |
How do you learn the HSK 4 words fast?
- Learn a few words a dayTen to fifteen new words a day is a pace most learners can keep. Steady beats cramming.
- Review with spaced repetitionReview each word just before you would forget it. A flashcard app that schedules reviews does this for you.
- Say every word out loudRead the pinyin with its tone, then say the word without looking. Tones are part of the word.
- Learn words in short phrasesPair each new word with one you know, like a measure word with a noun, so you remember how it is used.
- Test yourself both waysUse the buttons above to hide the meanings, then hide the pinyin. Recognizing and recalling are different skills.
