HSK 5 is where the vocabulary turns literary. A large share of these words belong to writing rather than speech — you will read 便 and 与 far more often than you say them — and the four-character set phrases start appearing. Learners who got through HSK 4 on conversation alone tend to stall here, because you cannot pick these up by ear from daily life.
Twenty-five characters at this level have more than one reading, and several hide inside words you already use. 便 is biàn in 方便, but pián in 便宜 piányi — many learners say biànyí for years before anyone corrects them. 背 is bēi when you carry something and bèi when you recite. Each of those is flagged below with the reading you actually need.
Which HSK is this? 2.0 vs 3.0
The list on this page is the 2012 standard, usually called HSK 2.0: six levels, with 150 / 300 / 600 / 1200 / 2500 / 5000 words cumulatively. This is what the great majority of textbooks, apps and prep material still use.
A newer standard published in 2021 — HSK 3.0, formally the Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education — restructures the system into three stages and nine levels, and raises the counts sharply: its Level 1 alone is 500 words, and the full nine levels span roughly 11,000.
The two are not interchangeable, so check which one your test provider or textbook specifies before you plan your study. If nothing says otherwise, it is almost certainly the 2012 list below.

Other HSK levels
FAQ
How long does HSK 5 usually take?
Longer than every level before it combined, for most people. It is 1300 new words against the 600 at HSK 4, and they are less concrete, so each one takes more exposure to stick. Frequency order helps: the first few hundred here still appear constantly, while the tail is genuinely rare.
Is HSK 5 the level employers ask for?
It is usually the first level that means something on a CV. HSK 4 covers daily life; HSK 5 is roughly where you can read a news article and follow a work meeting. Job postings that specify a level most often name HSK 5 or 6.
Should I learn all 1300, or just the frequent ones?
If you are sitting the test, all of them — the exam samples across the whole list. If you are learning to use the language, the first few hundred in this order give you most of the practical return, and the tail can wait until you meet those words in something you are reading.
