What is the difference between Placement and Proficiency Testing?
• If you are interested in taking a Chinese class at IU and have previous experience with the Chinese language, you should take the Chinese test to see what class you place into. This is testing for placement. • If you do not plan to take a Chinese class but want to prove that you have a certain proficiency level, either because you are a native speaker or because you have learned Chinese somewhere else, you should take the Chinese test to have your proficiency in Chinese certified.
