PETS is a national English proficiency test system designed and implemented by the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education. Candidates, regardless of age, education, household registration and other backgrounds (but due to policy reasons, they are not allowed to face students who are still receiving nine-year compulsory education), as long as they have a certain English foundation, they can choose the level that suits them.

PETS*** has five grades, all of which attach great importance to the examination of candidates' actual language communication ability, including two relatively independent parts: written test and oral test. Candidates can apply for written or oral examinations according to their own needs. Candidates who have passed the written and oral tests at the same level in the same exam or two adjacent exams can obtain the national English proficiency test certificate issued by the examination center of the Ministry of Education at the corresponding level. Candidates can download and print the Notice of Examination Results from China Education Examination Network, regardless of whether their scores are qualified or not.

The registration and organization of PETS level 1 to level 4 examinations are the responsibility of the provincial examination organizer. The examination time is: take PETS Grade 1 B, Grade 1 II and Grade 3 in March every year, and take PETS Grade 1 II, III and Grade 4 in September every year.
