I wouldn't suggest that, unless you have an intense background in the Chinese language.
how hard is it?....

When should you take the Chinese test?
There are a few factors to consider while you're deciding when to take the test. You should have at least two years of strong preparation in the language, but the more the better. So, if you're continuing in high school Chinese next semester/year, then wait to take the test. You should be in a Chinese class when you take the test. You're likely not to do as well if you take the test after you haven't been in a Chinese class for several months. For seniors studying Chinese: if Chinese is a strong subject for you, be sure it's one of the SAT Subject Tests you take in time for your colleges to see your score. If you're only taking it for placement purposes, and not as part of your application for admission, wait until you're as far along in your course as possible.
By the time i take the test i will have 3 FULL years (all year round) and one in a Chinese school in China...
My Chinese teacher told me that it's the type of test a native speaker would take (or someone that has been learning Chinese their entire life).
She also told me that all the questions are in characters, so if you don't know enough, you're screwed.
In addition, there's listening comprehension as well, but that's probably the easy part of it.
I was going to take it two weeks ago, but my Chinese friend (who is a Hong Kong native that is studying Mandarin) told me that it would be too difficult for someone with my current knowledge of the language.
[I have been learning Chinese for 2 years, but I have about 4 years worth of learning characters]
well i know like 2,000 characters. and many words. And i can write them without assistance and i dont need pinyin. my best strong suit is reading and writing. Speaking is eh. takes me awhile to organize it. I can learn characters in like 30 minutes xD how to write it, meaning, and pinyin. So i think i'll be fine. also i take it twice. next year and senior year.
You have more time to prepare than I did (and by the time you take it, you'd have more Chinese knowledge than I do currently, especially if you do study in China);
Therefore, I say you should go for it!
Don't expect a perfect score, but try your best and keep your head on straight and you should do well. =]
By the way, are you learning simplified or traditional characters?
I'm just wondering, because most non-Chinese who learn the language tend to want to learn simplified because it's easier.
可是我學習繁體字因為我覺得繁體字是最美的字

On another note,
my Chinese teacher loves my writing and pasted my essays all around her classroom.
