HSK word/grammar element lists?

[gyoliver]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there's an official list of vocabulary and grammar elements that are covered on the HSK tests?

In studying for the Japanese JLPT, I found it useful to purchase the officially published list so I could actually

figure out which words I'd yet to study for a particular test level.

Also, if there is a comprehensive list, is something that can be purchased in the US?

Any info would be greatly appreciated?

The official word lists for the new HSK are available here. As for lists of grammar elements, they don't really have those, but you can get a rough idea of what grammar you're expected to know at each level by looking at the included sample questions/readings.

Thank you for this! I looked for this on the HSK website a few weeks ago, but was unable to locate anything similar. I wonder why they wouldn't make it available there? Or perhaps I just missed it?

I don't think it's there -- I've searched online for the "新汉语水平考试大纲" but have not been able to find it elsewhere. That's probably because these PDFs were scanned directly from a book which is sold in stores, leading to questions about the legality of this material...given that it's on an official Hanban site, though, my moral qualms about using it are not so great.

It's also available on other Confucius institutes' website. For example:

Before it was also available on hanban.org ( http://www.hanban.org/hanyukaoshi_more.php?ithd=nhsk ), but this link is broken.

They are posted on the website of ChineseTesting.cn (which is created and maintained by Hanban): http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="新汉语水平考试"+filetype%3Apdf+site%3Achinesetesting.cn

Other websites that have the PDFs:

As far as I can tell, none of these are the same as what's on the QUT site, and most of them don't even give word lists (with the exception of this Italian site, but only level 4 is available).
