Steering Committee for the Test of Proficiency Huayu will hold pilot tests from June 16 to June 27 2008 in Taiwan. I think they’d have many more interested Mandarin students, if they had these tests a month before the real test. I doubt there will be much interest.

Please be notified that the first TOP pilot test will be held in northern, central, and southern Taiwan from June 16 to June 27 this year. It is a great opportunity for prospective TOP takers to prove their Huayu ability and practice for official TOP tests.

The pilot test will be paper-based and is available for four levels: TOP for Beginners, Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced. There are two different pretests for each level. Test takers can choose the level most suitable to them and the most convenient test dates.

For those who are interested, please register for the FREE pilot tests on-line at http://www.sc-top.org.tw/ from June 4 to June 10. After the pilot tests, each test taker will receive a souvenir. Don’t let the chance slip away!
