Frequently Asked Questions

How many words do I need for HSK 6?

HSK 6 requires 1123 vocabulary words. This list covers all of them with pinyin, translations, and audio.

Do I need to handwrite the characters for HSK 6?

No. The HSK 6 exam only requires character recognition (reading). Handwriting becomes important from HSK 3 onward.

How should I memorize these 1123 words?

Use spaced repetition: our flashcards use the SM-2 algorithm to schedule reviews right before you would forget. 10 minutes daily is enough.
