This mandarin proficiency test starts easy and gets harder. When the questions become too difficult, it stops and shows the level that matches your answers, using the HSK scale most schools and employers recognise.
A chinese language proficiency test for placement
Use it as a chinese placement test before you start a course, join a class or choose a textbook. A chinese language proficiency test cannot replace the official exam, but it tells you which word list and practice paper to open first.
After the test
You will see your level and links to its vocabulary list, study guide and practice test. Repeat the test after a month of study to see progress.
