Treat this as a reference collection. Prioritize words from material you actually read rather than trying to memorize all 5,600 at once.
Why one HSK 7–9 page? The current standard defines levels 7, 8, and 9 as one combined advanced vocabulary band. Your final level is determined by performance in the advanced exam, so the official word list is presented together.
