You don't need to take placement exams, you might be looking at ones aimed at teachers. Below is the link for the computer generated spoken Mandarin exam. They don't offer Shanghainese, but there is a Cantonese exam. You just create an account with the same email you use for your sophia credly badges, schedule an exam and the computer avatar starts asking you random questions to talk about such as your hobbies or something you don't like such as traffic or noise. They assess your speaking skill and send you your score a few days later on the account that can be sent to credly. If you could get an associates degree in Mandarin, you will certainly score high enough to get the 12 credits. Just sign up as a student because the other option is for US teachers that need a certification.

Oops... I registered for a WPT for students, I don't know if that counts

That is the writing test, the good news is that exam is also worth up to 12 credits. I never attempted the writing or listening exams because the Speaking exam gave me more than enough credits. I will assume you will have around 10 scenarios and you will have to write them down within a time limit. It will probably involve typing into a keyboard.
