1. HSK 3.0 Level 4 Vocabulary Overview
HSK 4 is the fourth level of the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (Chinese Proficiency Test) and corresponds to approximately CEFR B2 level. Under the latest official HSK 3.0 syllabus (published November 2025, effective July 2026), it requires mastery of approximately 2,000 cumulative words across HSK 1-4, with about 1,000 new words at the HSK 4 level.
| Old HSK 4 | New HSK 3.0 Level 4 (2026) |
|---|---|
| 600 new words (1,200 cumulative) | ~1,000 new words (~2,000 cumulative) |
| Everyday topics | Everyday + culture, technology, society, environment |
The writing section has 15 questions (more than HSK 3 or 5’s 10 questions), so strong vocabulary recall is essential.

2. HSK 3.0 Level 4: Which Characters Must You Write by Hand?
You don’t need to handwrite all 1,000 words. The new HSK 3.0 syllabus requires you to know a total of 441 characters at the HSK 4 level, divided into two tiers:
- 书写字 (Must-Write Characters): 150 characters — you MUST be able to write these by hand from memory in the writing section.
- 认读字 (Recognition-Only Characters): the remaining 291 characters (441 total – 150 must-write) — you only need to read and recognize these. No handwriting required.
This distinction is critical for your study strategy. Instead of trying to handwrite all characters, focus your writing practice on the 150 must-write characters below. For the other 291 characters, you just need to recognize them when reading.
