The Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language (TOCFL) (Chinese: 華語文能力測驗; pinyin: Huáyǔwén Nénglì Cèyàn) is a standardized test of Taiwanese Mandarin language proficiency for non-native speakers, including foreign students. While there are many vocabulary lists available online, a lot of them are either incomplete / outdated or behind paywalls.
