Children aged 7-12 can take the test of Children's Chinese Competency Certification (CCCC). Its levels include Sprouting, Seedling, and Blossoming, which takes 40, 50, and 60 minutes to complete the test. The test content has listening and reading parts. It is designed in consideration of children’s specific cognitive and linguistic development and is a standardized test to objectively measure the Chinese proficiency of young test takers from different language and cultural backgrounds. With its special emphasis on the everyday lives and interests of children, CCCC helps test takers to understand their own levels of Chinese proficiency and encourages them to pursue further Chinese studies.
