Heritage learner placement
If you heard Mandarin growing up, you probably understand more than you can read. This quiz measures reading only, so we also ask how much you follow by ear to suggest a good place to begin.
A short reading quiz of about 5 minutes
An adaptive reading test in Traditional Chinese. It checks words and sentences level by level, moves up or down as you go, and stops at the highest level you can read comfortably.
Adaptive, Level by Level
Up to 10 questions per level. Pass and you move up, miss and you move down, until your boundary is found.
Official TOCFL Levels
Every word is tested at the level the official list assigns it (C2 items use the most literary Level 5 words, since the list has no Level 6), in Traditional Chinese, with pinyin in Band A only.
Guess-Proof Scoring
Answer “I don't know” instead of guessing. Wrong guesses cost points, so luck can't lift your level.
