HSK 3.0, often called the New HSK, is the updated version of the Chinese proficiency test. It has nine levels instead of six, and a new vocabulary syllabus that sets how many words a learner should know at each level.
Word targets in the 2025 syllabus are cumulative: each level includes all the words from the levels below it.
Teachers use it to check that a reading passage, worksheet or exam question stays within their students' level. Learners use it to tell whether an article or graded reader is worth starting now, and which words to learn first.
The syllabus lists words, not characters. 杯子 (cup) is a Level 1 word, but 杯 on its own, used as a measure word, is not in the Level 1–5 lists. The checker follows the lists exactly, so it marks it.
