What is Yct?

YCT stands for "Youth Chinese Test" (青少年汉语考试, Qīngshàonián Hànyǔ Kǎoshì). It is an international standardized Chinese language proficiency test designed for non-native Chinese speakers aged 15 and below. The test is administered by Hanban (汉办, Hànbàn), the Office of Chinese Language Council International, and it assesses the Chinese language proficiency of young learners in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

How many levels ?

The YCT is divided into four levels (YCT 1, YCT 2, YCT 3, and YCT 4), with YCT 1 being the easiest level and YCT 4 being the most advanced. Each level corresponds to a specific vocabulary and grammar proficiency level, and students are tested on their ability to use Chinese in everyday situations.

The YCT is widely used as a benchmark for Chinese language learning progress among young learners and is recognized by educational institutions and employers worldwide. It provides a valuable tool for assessing and certifying the Chinese language proficiency of young learners.
