Business Chinese Listening & Reading, Speaking & Writing Test vs BCT(A)

[DanWang]

Does anyone know the content difference between the Business Chinese Listening & Reading, Speaking & Writing Test and the BCT(A)? Which one is harder?

 

I don't see why there needs to be two separate tests for business Chinese students.

Links? Are these Hanban exams? I've heard of a BCT, never these two.

There should just be three things I can register for: the two individual parts of the BCT broken into two, and an aggregate test of both. But now there is a fourth one called BCT(A)?

Looks to be reading, writing and listening minus the speaking, but the number of questions make it look like it's not just the BCT minus the speaking bit. Damned if I know, but that's a computerised version only available in Singapore - might be something to do with that...

Only available in Singapore? even when it is a computerized version? The fourth one is described in chinese so i have a feeling that it is harder in someway.
