The results of the special examination will be sent in 6-8 weeks. 6. What are the grading criteria and methods of the CET-3? According to NAATI's regulations, the grading standard of the CET-3 translation test is as follows: CET-3 translation should be able to provide accurate written translation for articles with general difficulty or special topics at a reasonable speed (about 250 words per hour). The translation should be expressed in the authentic target language without serious mistakes. The overall goal of the exam is to determine whether the candidates have the ability to meet the three-level translation standards set by NAATI. Determine whether it can fully understand non-professional vocabulary with general difficulty and accurately translate it into authentic target language at a specified speed. Another purpose of the exam is to determine whether the candidates fully understand the professional ethics standards of translation. Experts pointed out that the passing line of the exam is 70 points, including at least 63 points for translation. If the translation of the article reaches 63 points and the total score is lower than 70 points, you can have the opportunity to retake the professional ethics standards. If the candidate's score is between 65 and 70, the candidate can ask for a review. Generally speaking, we should make use of this right of review. Many students passed the second interview. 7. How to ask for marking? The so-called marking is divided into two situations. The first is to check the marked test paper, and the second is to request to check the test results. After receiving the test results, all candidates can ask to see their own papers. The test paper must be read within 3 months after receiving the result notice, because the general test paper is destroyed 9 months after the test date. You need to fill in the application form and pay the marking fee. You are not allowed to make a lot of records or copies when reading the volume. You can only read the volume in NAATI's office in this state. Overseas candidates can't read the papers. If your score is above 65 and below 70, you are eligible to ask for re-evaluation. Your test paper will be given to one of the original two examiners and another new examiner for re-marking. Although your score may be promoted to pass, you are likely to fail. But the result of re-grading will not be lower than the original score, so it is worth doing. Candidates should apply within one month after receiving the results and pay the re-examination fee. You should be informed of the retrial results within 6-8 weeks. The result of retrial is the final result. If you have asked for a second interview, you can't take the exam until the results of the second interview come out. 8. If you fail the first exam, can you ask for another exam? NAATI's annual Australian exam is only once a year, and the time is in mid-June 165438+ 10. Due to the concentration and large number of candidates, it usually takes more than 12 weeks to correct the papers. In particular, there are many Chinese candidates, and it takes a long time to get the test results. So if time is tight, you'd better take the customized exam. Although the cost is expensive, you can get the test results in 6-8 weeks. As long as you register for the special exam a few days in advance, you can arrange it. We have the service of assisting the students of this center to apply for the exam free of charge. As for overseas candidates, they can only take special exams.
