Quanguo Waiyu Shuiping Kaoshi ("National Foreign Language Proficiency Test," WSK) is a series of foreign language tests administered in Mainland China for educators who did not major in foreign languages. The National Education Examinations Authority (NEEA) of China developed these tests. Performance on the WSK determines whether one is permitted to take training, studies, or additional studies within one's major in institutions outside of China.

Some universities make successful completion of the WSK as a requirement for promotion in one's academic title.

The Public English Test System (PETS) is the test for the English language, available in five levels: PETS-1 through PETS-5. The other versions are TNF for the French language, NTD for the German language, NNS (日本語能力試験 Nihongo Nōryoku Shiken; 日语水平考试; Rìyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì) for the Japanese language, and ТПРЯ (Russian: Тест по проверке уровня владения русским языком "Russian Language Proficiency Test"; 俄语水平考试; Éyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì) for the Russian language.
