Native speaker here- the second "to" is not needed

    Why is "She wants to go to see the principal now." wrong?

    Yes, wrong. Xiang would be "wants", but Yao is closer to "needs"

      Why is 'she will go to see the headmaster now' not allowed?

      At a guess: I think 要 can't mean "will" since 现在 is in the sentence (meaning "now"). Also, while the British "headmaster" should be accepted for 校长, Duolingo might insist on "principal."

        She is going to see the principal (now).

          I wrote 'he' instead of she - this should be accepted as they sound exactly the same!

            No because the character is different

              it was a recording though hence there was no way to differentiate between 他/她 as they have the same pronunciation

                That is why they have the text there

                She is going to see the principle now or 她现在须要去见校长?
