Registering, step by step

  1. Register and book on chinesetest.cn, choosing the centre and format (paper or computer).
  2. 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.
  3. Print the admission ticket and bring the same ID you registered with.

Good to know

  • Missed 13 November? The next official sitting is 9 Jan 2027, but neither centre lists it yet (尚未确认 / not yet confirmed).
