I don't really have any strong reason for taking up the test. Its just for an extra 'certificate'. Hanban certificate will be widely accepted than the certificate issued by the school where I am learning right now.

I wish to pursue my higher studies in Singapore or China. Even though my course will only be in English, I thought HSK certificate might add extra points on my card. I have around 2 years in hand. As per your advise, I must decide whether to clear easier levels first or directly take up the higher level next year.

Thanks,
