Test Instructions
Each question comprises a sentence with a missing word or words. Below the incomplete statement are five possible answers, of which only one is correct. Click the answer you think is the right one to complete the relevant sentence. However, try not to guess; getting an answer correct by accident will mean your final results inaccurately represent your current Chinese level. Instead, select the “I don’t know” option.
After answering the 10 questions below, you can choose to end the test and get your score by clicking “Get My Test Results.” Alternatively, click “Continue with 10 more questions” and another set will appear. By answering more questions, up to a maximum of 70, we can provide you with a more precise final assessment.
Whether you complete all 70 questions or fewer, click “Get My Test Results” when you are ready to end the test. Your results will appear on your screen immediately.
Proficiency Rating
Once the test is complete, you will receive your final score, which we use to designate one of our Chinese proficiency ratings. Each gives an approximate description of your current comprehension, as well as the average number of hours of study (either one-to-one or in small groups) to reach the level.
Completing our Chinese Level test is about more than just satisfying your curiosity to know your current language ability. These results can be useful in several ways to improve your learning and confidence:
- We have carefully researched our language proficiencies to reflect the skill levels of official accreditation programs. For example, a Pre-Intermediate Language Trainer level is comparable to a Low/Middle Intermediate ACTFL* level. Therefore, your results here can give you an idea of how you might do, should you decide to take an officially recognized test.

- Our results include questions you answer incorrectly (or where you select “I don’t know”). Do not feel disheartened by any wrong answers. Instead, use these results to understand where your Chinese comprehension needs further study.
- We encourage you to share your results with your language tutor, assuming you have one. For instance, Language Trainers’ professional tutors will use these results to tailor your future studies. This will ensure you develop your Chinese language skills efficiently.
