TESTING A special testing system has been devised for determining proficiency level. Each student completes multi-stage tests that help to show the gaps in his/her language knowledge. Careful attention is then focused on these areas. The final testing at the "Russian Village" can be done in one of two ways: 1. General testing (similar to the initial diagnostic test) which enables you to check your general progress over the full term of studies. 2. State testing conducted by state licensed examiners. This given type of controlled testing may be necessary for those who need certificated knowledge of the language. The state tariff for this test is 40 - 70 USD. At our "Village" you may take either one of the two tests that are recognized in Russia.
