HSK Score Conversion: Old HSK 2.0 to New HSK 3.0

No. There is no 1:1 point conversion because the vocabulary scale and band structure changed. The correct approach is to map by vocabulary size and difficulty, not by converting a score.

By vocabulary, old HSK 4 requires ~1,200 words, which sits between HSK 3.0 band 3 (~2,245) and band 4 (~3,245). Old HSK 4 holders usually need extra vocabulary to reach the same numbered band under HSK 3.0.

HSK certificates typically have a recognition window (often 2 years) depending on the receiving institution. An issued certificate stays valid within that window; when you retake, you test on the new standard.
