Registering, step by step
- Register and book on chinesetest.cn, choosing the centre and format (paper or computer).
- Pay the centre the way its page says (most centres here use their own online shop, bank transfer or cash). The online status usually changes to “paid” only after the centre reconciles payments.
- Print the admission ticket and bring the same ID you registered with.
Good to know
- If you want the old format, Montpellier's 6 Dec sitting is the last chance at that centre, but its deadline (9 Nov) has passed.
- For 13 Dec, Pau lists only HSK 2 and HSK 3.
