The so-called Grade A is the highest level of the national Putonghua exam, which is the highest level of the whole exam. Before taking the exam, your Putonghua must reach the first-class B level of Putonghua in your country or region (Putonghua is divided into A and B). Reaching Grade B is also regarded as the first level of Putonghua.

However, if you want to apply for Grade A, you must have Grade B of the Putonghua Proficiency Test Certificate issued by the State Language Committee before you are eligible to apply. Moreover, this exam must go to Beijing to take the exam, and the local authorities have no authority to issue first-class and first-class qualification certificates (even if they apply at the local level, they must report to Beijing for approval. So the relative probability is also low).

If you haven't taken the exam before, I suggest you review it well and practice your pronunciation according to the National Putonghua Proficiency Test Training Guide issued by the state or local government. The examiner will also ask you questions during the exam, and you need to make an impromptu speech. The main purpose is to examine fluency and reactivity.

Extended data

The exam is generally divided into five modules. The first part is to read monosyllabic words (100 syllables, *** 10 points, limited to 3.5 minutes). The second part is reading polysyllabic words (100 syllables, ***20 minutes, limited to 2.5 minutes); The third part is to read a short passage (400 syllables, ***30 minutes, limited to 4 minutes); The fourth part is the proposition speech (generally you will be given two topics, you can choose one of them, ***40 points, limited to 3 minutes).

Let's take a look at the deduction rules for "reading short passages" in the Outline of Putonghua Proficiency Test:

(1) mispronounced a syllable, 0. 1 minute will be deducted; If one syllable is omitted, deduct 0. 1.

(2) 0.5 points and 1 point will be deducted for the systematic phonetic defects of initials or finals, respectively.

③ Incorrect intonation, depending on the degree, 0.5 points, 1 point, 2 points,

(4) Improper disconnection will result in 0.5 points, 1 point and 2 points respectively depending on the degree.

(5) Poor reading (including back reading) will be deducted by 0.5 points, 1 point and 2 points respectively.

(6) Overtime (reading 400 syllables cannot exceed 4 minutes) will be deducted 1 minute.

Therefore, you should prepare according to this standard. You will be given the exam questions and the dictionary to look up new words. There is still enough time.
