<p>I plan on taking both placement tests. I am taking the placement test for Intermediate Chinese and the Japanese placement test. </p>

<p>How hard are the tests and what will I probably place in? </p>

<p>I have an 800 in Chinese like the rest of the Chinese population and a JLPT 2 somehow...</p>

<p>I cannot write Chinese at all. I have had almost no practice at all. I can read fairly well, and I am completely fluent speaking it. </p>

<p>Japanese I can write somewhat. I can understand it well enough to enjoy certain anime without subtitles and listen to it without straining to understand. I can read Slayers (a manga) in Japanese but only with dictionary for the words I do not understand.</p>

<p>well, the main problem is that i rarely had any opportunities to write chinese. i can almost read the newspapers, and i could recognize 2000 characters at one point. i am as fluent as any chinese native, but i think i will have trouble writing the more complex characters. i can recognize them but nothing more.</p>

<p>now look, when they say ‘write’</p>

<p>what do they want us to write? i can write maybe a letter or soemthin, but nothing like multi-page essays</p>
