Wat is tested in SAT2 chinese?

Question

i mean like wat kind of questions are there, like is it multiple choice, listening, or is there writing too.

and theres no fill in the blank right?-just making sure

Answer 1

There's no writing characters; the entire test is some form of multiple choice.  There is a listening section (so you have to bring a CD player).  There is a fill-in-the-blank multiple choice portion (you have to pick the best answer that fills in the blank of a sentence).  

20 minutes of listening and 40 minutes of usage and

reading

● 85 multiple-choice questions in three sections:

Listening Comprehension: These questions test

the ability to understand the spoken language and

are based on short, spoken dialogues and narratives

primarily about everyday topics. There are two

different kinds of listening comprehension questions:

(A) a spoken statement, question, or exchange,

followed by a choice of three possible responses (also

spoken); (B) a spoken dialogue or monologue with a

printed question or questions (in English) about what

was said.

Usage: These questions ask you to select the answer

that best completes a Chinese sentence in a way

that is structurally and logically correct. Questions

are written to reflect instructional practices of the

curriculum. This section of the test is therefore

presented in four columns across two pages of the

test book to allow each question and its answer

choices to be shown in four different ways of

representing Chinese: traditional and simplified

Chinese characters on the left page, and phonetic

transcriptions in Pinyin romanization and the

Chinese phonetic alphabet (Bopomofo) on the right

page. You should choose the writing form you are

most familiar with and read only from that column.

Reading Comprehension: Reading comprehension

questions test your understanding of such points as

main and supporting ideas, themes, and the setting of

passages. Some of the passages are based on real-life

materials such as timetables, forms, advertisements,

notes, letters, diaries, and newspaper articles.

All passages are written in both traditional and

simplified Chinese characters. Most questions deal

with understanding of literal meaning although some

inference questions may be included. All reading

comprehension questions are in English.
