What is my HSK 2.0 level worth now?
The two systems do not convert by simple arithmetic, because HSK 3.0 moved the boundaries. This converter uses where each word actually landed — not a guess.

How to read this
- This is a vocabulary comparison, not an official conversion. Only the exam body can tell you what a certificate is worth.
- Levels overlap on purpose. Holding old HSK 4 does not mean you are exactly at new HSK 4 — it means most of your vocabulary sits there.
- If you are choosing what to study, start one level below your match and confirm the words there are solid.
