HSK 7 Vocabulary List

1,868 words with pinyin and meaning. AI-generated example sentences and memory hints are being added word by word — words that have them show an example inline.

Train HSK 7 with AI →

The official HSK 3.0 standard tests levels 7, 8, and 9 against one combined ~5,600-word pool rather than three separate lists. We split that pool into thirds by word frequency (most common → HSK 7, least common → HSK 9) so each level page is a distinct, useful study set — this is our own grouping, not an official HSK subdivision.
