Definition
免试 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to be exempted from an exam'. The object (the specific exam) can be placed between 免 and 试, like 免了物理试 ('exempted from the physics exam'). It's commonly used in academic contexts — admission policies, course waivers, or skipping a test due to prior qualifications. You don't say '免试考试' — just 免试 alone or with the subject area before 试.
