HSK lists - did I ever study this word? Cannot find it

zhangyanglu   November 18th, 2013 2:46p.m.

Hi folks,

following issue:
While preparing HSK 4, I just realized that I did not know the meaning of
成熟.
I also could swear that I have never learnt it.
Now, thing is: My HSK4 list is marked as complete (for the writing and definition part, that is).
When I exported from Skritter ALL words in the official HSK 4 list, it says:

ਊ//HSK 4 (new Hànyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì) (Remix)/441 - 480

Now, I also exported my own vocabulary (all of it), and could NOT find 成熟 in my vocab.
I then had a look at my HSK4 list and went back to that section 441 - 480, and there it also does not appear anymore.

When I go to "my words" section ahd look for "成熟" it appears but it also says" not studied" (at all).

Can anyone explain to me why I am missing HSK4 words when the official word list is marked as completed?

I am really worried now about how many words I actually might be missing...

The HSK word lists were updated a while ago to match the update 2012 vocab. Is it possible that this transition happened while you were studying?

Maybe try:
1) Open your list from the study page
2) click on "Change Study Settings"
3) change study mode to "add"
4) change "add vocab from" to the first section in the list
5) Click save changes
6) Add more words and see if it adds the word that were added when the list was modified (assuming that is the issue)

Hello Lechuan!

I started the HSK4 list in October 2012 and finished almost 1 year later, so maybe it's for this reason?

I checked the list of changes, though, and couldn't find 成熟 in the list of modifications in HSK4.

What is also weird, I have now exported again the list of HSK4 into Excel, and the export is not the same like when I did it on the weekend. My new Excel says:
ਊ//HSK 4/441 - 480

So as you can see, now it disappeared together with some other words, from the extracted HSK4 list (I don't understand why it was shown when extracting the list on the weekend, though).

I have now checked again exporting the official HSK _5_ list into Excel and surprisingly, there it pops up now. (could find information on that in the change list either, though).

So does that mean that 成熟 has moved from HSK4 to HSK 5?
I am working my way through the official mock exams from Hanban website and there are still plenty of examples where 成熟 is used in the HSK4.

Yes, according to the lists Hanban published in 2010, that was an HSK4 word. In the latest (2012) lists, that is an HSK5 word.

You can see which other words changed level on this page: http://hskhsk.pythonanywhere.com/hskwords20102012
