2013 Enrolment and Online Placement Testing

  • The Chinese Studies Program conducts diagnostic placement tests to ensure that new students who have studied Chinese before enrol at the level most appropriate for their current language proficiency. Students with no previous Chinese language background, students unable to read or write any Chinese or students who have completed at least three years of Chinese secondary education (in China, Hong Kong or Taiwan) are not required to take a placement test.

    On your enrolment day:

    1. If you are an absolute beginner you may enrol without approval in Chinese Introductory 1 ATS1001.
    2. If you are unable to read or write Chinese but are able to speak and understand some form of Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien etc.) you should contact the unit coordinator to obtain authorisation to enrol in Chinese introductory for background speakers ATS1905/1906 (see below). You are not required to take the placement test.
    3. If you have completed IB or VCE L2 (Basic stream) Chinese Units 3/4 you may provisionally enrol in Chinese Intermediate 1 ATS2003. You are required to sit the placement test to confirm your entry level.
    4. If you have completed IB or VCE L2 (Advanced stream) or VCE L1 Chinese Units 3/4, or if you have studied Chinese overseas, you may provisionally enrol in Chinese Proficient 1 ATS2005. You are required to sit the placement test to confirm your entry level
    5. If you have completed VCE L1 Chinese Units 3/4 you may provisionally enrol in Chinese Advanced 3 ATS3009. You are required to sit the placement test to confirm your entry level.
    6. If you have completed at least three years of Chinese secondary education (in China, Hong Kong or Taiwan) you may enrol in Chinese advanced 5 or 6 or in Chinese translation unit. Please contact the unit coordinator for enrolment approval.
