You don't have to go, it doesn't matter. Moreover, the Putonghua exam is twice a year, and you can take it many times during school. But taking the exam once is also the accumulation of experience. If you really can't go, I suggest taking the exam. The Putonghua test won't be difficult. Generally, there are two examiners in a classroom, and recording is needed. Draw lots to see which set of questions it is before the exam (pay attention to the title of the last question). During the exam, look at your exam questions, including Chinese characters, vocabulary, a short essay, and the last one is oral composition. If you are given a topic, improvise. Mainly listen to your pronunciation, intonation and sentence breaking. 100 out of 100 100. Over 60 points. There are few uncommon words in the topic, so just relax. When reading monosyllabic words and disyllabic words, try to speak louder so that the examiner can hear you clearly. You can't look back at the reading material. If you make a mistake, don't look back. Of course, you should be as accurate as possible ~ the topic part should be smooth. The most important thing in this part is pronunciation. If the pronunciation is good, it is not very important that the pronunciation is not standard. Of course, we should pay attention to both. You'd better look for reading materials online and read them well. Listening more is also very helpful.
The above is "Does it matter if you register for Putonghua without taking the exam?" .
