(Central News Agency reporter Chen Chih-chung, Taipei, April 15) The Ministry of Education announced today that registration for the July 2026 Taiwanese Hokkien Certification Exam will close before 5 PM on May 8, with tests administered on July 25 and 26. Starting this year, all exams will be conducted via computerized testing, reminding the public to practice on the simulation platform first.
The Taiwanese Hokkien Certification Exam has no nationality or age restrictions; all members of the public interested in Taiwanese Hokkien can register. For the March exam this year, the total number of registrants was 14,014.
The Ministry of Education today announced the information for the July exam and, as in previous years, provided a Taiwanese Hokkien version of the press release and audio files, allowing the public to practice while reviewing the exam information.
The Ministry of Education stated that the exam registration fee is NT$250, and it is free for those under 19. The July exam includes two versions, A and B, administered on separate days. Version A will be held on July 25; Version B will be administered on July 26. Candidates who complete all test items (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) on the exam day will receive one reward item.
The Ministry of Education specifically reminded candidates that starting in 2026, the Taiwanese Hokkien Certification Exam will be fully conducted via "computerized testing," with only the writing test remaining paper-and-pencil. If preschoolers (under 6 years old) or seniors (over 65 years old) anticipate difficulties operating a computer throughout the test period, they may apply for special needs services.
To help candidates familiarize themselves with the computerized testing method, the Ministry of Education has also established an "Online Computerized Testing Simulation Platform" in the "Self-Study Resources" section of the official exam website. Candidates are encouraged to practice more to become familiar with it. (Editor: Li Hsi-chang) 1150415
