About YCT 4

YCT 4 is the highest written level, with 600 words: the 300 of YCT 1–3 and 300 new ones. It covers everyday life in some depth, from travel and hobbies to feelings, school results and the news.

This level adds linked patterns such as 不但……而且……, 如果……那么…… and 一边……一边……, and grammar words like 被, 着 and 地.

The syllabus lists 对 twice (as an adjective and a preposition) and 还 twice (hái and huán). This page shows each once with both uses, so the table has 598 rows for the 600 syllabus entries.
