The CIE organized the 2015 YCT/HSK tests held on May 5 and 6. This year the number of the students writing the tests set a new record and reaching more than 1400 students. Another highlight is that more than 1000 students took the tests on online. This is a new breakthrough in test administration. The students wrote different levels of YCT/HSK tests, and about 50 students registered for HSK Level 6 that is the highest level of the test, equivalent to a C2 level on the Common European Framework of Reference. Last year, we had more than more than 50 students pass the HSK Level 6 test , which demonstrates the effectiveness of the Chinese Bilingual program.
With such a large number of students writing the tests in more than 15 different schools in Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary, it proved to be a great deal of work, but the results have been most gratifying. All the teachers and administrators from CIE and the schools contributed greatly to the success of the administration.
