Whether you should ask the professor for help depends mainly on your current situation, the requirements of the program, and your relationship with him. The following points may help you sort out your thoughts: 1. Clarify your goals and motivations: First ask yourself, are you really interested in this graduate program? Have you made efforts and accumulated relevant qualifications in this field? Make sure that the opportunity of "exemption from examination" is based on your existing potential and ability, rather than simply relying on relationships. 2. Understand the program requirements and policies: Some programs may encourage professors to recommend suitable students, but there may also be a certain review mechanism for admission without examination by the school. It is best to first confirm whether the opportunity is legal and formal, and understand the admission process and possible subsequent requirements. 3. Consider the long-term impact: Although admission without examination may relieve you of the pressure of taking exams in the short term, you also need to consider whether you can adapt to the program requirements smoothly after admission. Make sure you have the necessary abilities and interests, otherwise you may encounter challenges in subsequent studies. 4. Respect academic ethics: When seeking help from professors, communicate with humility and respect. Avoid giving people a bad impression of taking advantage of relationships, and at the same time ensure that this approach complies with the regulations of the school and program to maintain academic integrity. 5. Communicate with the professor: If you value this opportunity very much, you can try to have a relaxed and sincere communication with the professor first to understand his views and suggestions. Through the conversation, you can know more clearly whether the professor is willing to provide you with such a channel, and what the specific conditions and procedures are. In general, if you are really interested in this project and are sure that you can meet the academic requirements of the project, and the channel is open and transparent, then politely expressing your expectations and requests to the professor is acceptable. But please note that any admission process requires you to have sufficient strength and preparation to back it up. I hope these suggestions can help you make a more appropriate decision.
