HSK 6: 2.0 vs 3.0, word by word

What changed at HSK 6

1,529 old Level 6 words, about six in ten, moved up into the Level 7-9 band. Another 168 moved down to Levels 4 and 5, and 124 lost their entries. The dropped words are a mix of colloquial or regional forms (啥, 咋, 甭), festival names (端午节, 元宵节, 重阳节) and four-character set phrases.

HSK 3.0 Level 6 is smaller, at 1,777 words, and is mostly built from elsewhere: 260 words from lower HSK 2.0 levels (254 of them Level 5) and 838 words HSK 2.0 never listed, such as 打卡, 动漫, 低碳, 订单 and 创意. In other words, more than half of the new Level 6 (1,098 of 1,777 words) is not in an HSK 2.0 Level 6 deck at all.

How these lists were made

We compared the HSK 3.0 levels from the official syllabus (Chinese Testing International, November 2025) with the HSK 2.0 levels word by word, one row per written word. Spelling variants that are the same word, such as 面条 and 面条儿, count once; “7-9” is treated as one level. The HSK 3.0 vs 2.0 guide explains the method and its limits.

HSK 2.0 levels and 72 HSK 3.0 Level 7-9 entries: drkameleon/complete-hsk-vocabulary (MIT). Pinyin and meanings: CC-CEDICT (MDBG), licensed CC BY-SA 4.0; meanings are shortened to the first senses.
