All Putonghua proficiency tests are conducted by oral examination. The standardization of pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar shown by candidates in the process of using spoken Mandarin is an important basis for evaluating their level.
First, draw lots to see the works and talk about the topic. It takes about ten minutes to prepare. After entering the examination room, first report your company and name, and then follow the four (five) tests: 100 monosyllabic words, 50 disyllabic words, (judgment test), reading works and speaking. The whole exam is recorded, and you can leave the test center after the exam. You can check your grades in about 25 days and get the corresponding Putonghua proficiency certificate.
