HSK vs YCT

Recommended Posts

according to chinesetesting.cn,

the (new) HSK has 6 different levels (in practice that's 6 different exams)

HSK6 Over 5,000 words

HSK5 2500 words

HSK4 1200 words

HSK3 600 words

HSK2 300 words

HSK1 150 words

and the YCT has 4 levels:

YCT4 600 words (~HSK3)

YCT3 300 words

YCT2 150 words

YCT1 80 words.

As to a "good" score, the minimum required for foreigners who wish to study in Chinese universities is HSK4. For a master's degree it is HSK5.

There is also an "old" version of the HSK, with 3 exam levels, one of which is really advanced and appropriate for (I think) professional translators, but it does not seem to be offered outside mainland China any more.
