PETS aims at mastering a foreign language, and divides language competence into "acceptance", "output" and "interaction". According to various situations and tasks, under specific themes and texts, teaching or examination is carried out in combination with relevant language behaviors.

PETS- 1: the first level is the primary level, and its examination requirements are slightly higher than the English level of junior high school graduates (PETS- 1B is the subsidiary level of the national English level examination).
Pets-2: The second level is the lower level, which is equivalent to the English level of outstanding graduates of ordinary high schools (the qualified written test scores of this level can replace the English test scores of self-taught college (I) and diploma exams).

Fractional weight
PETS Grade 1 to Grade 5 exams all adopt the method of score weighting, that is, different weights are given to the original scores of each part of the topic, so as to balance the investigation relationship of various skills. In addition, the change of the weight of the same part of the score in different grades also reflects the evolution of the requirements of pets for various skill tests.

Since the new century, many factors, such as the acceleration of information industry revolution, the intensification of economic globalization and the gradual deepening of market economy, have led to the rapid progress of informatization. At the same time, the government also noticed this development trend and began to guide enterprises to improve the development of employees' post ability. In order to improve the vocational training system for all workers and speed up the training of hundreds of millions of high-quality professionals, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security authorized IPA International Certification Association to issue IPA international registered Chinese teacher qualification certificate, which can be issued after strict examination. It is also the qualification certificate for teaching Chinese as a foreign language authorized by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security after Hanban stopped issuing it in 2005.
With the rapid development of China's foreign economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation, the "Chinese fever" is heating up all over the world. Under the background of the great development of international communication, the specialty of "Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language" has also ushered in a rare development opportunity. At the same time, more foreign language majors have found more employment opportunities and development directions. As a big country in Europe, the radiation of Chinese fever has also made more and more Japanese students turn to foreign language majors for further study or employment, and passing formal English exams and studies has become the primary goal pursued by more students. [2] 、
Chinese fever
However, the teaching of Chinese as a foreign language in China really ushered in its own spring after entering the 2 1 century. With the world gradually entering the information age, the era of knowledge economy and economic globalization, the status of the whole language science in the 2 1 century is getting higher and higher. Due to the rapid economic development of China in the past 20 years, China's international status has improved rapidly. Moreover, because China has a vast market, all countries, whether developed or developing, have to deal with China and China for the sake of peace and development and their own national interests, and ask their people to study Chinese hard. [3]
Responding to the strong development of China, Chinese fever is also rising around the world, and Chinese is gradually becoming a strong language. According to newspaper reports, many European and American countries have included Chinese as an elective subject in the Chinese language test of the college entrance examination in the 20th century. Due to the influence of Chinese fever, professional English study and examination are the first choice for students who want to teach Chinese as a foreign language.
Achievement effect
edit
The scope of application of test scores at all levels is given in the PETS grade description, which is only for the reference of candidates and users of test scores.
The examination center of the Ministry of Education is responsible for explaining the PETS examination level at all levels; The right to use candidates' scores is in the admissions department or the employer.
As a social test, PETS does not have the function of evaluating the English teaching level in ordinary middle schools and universities. Refusing to provide candidates' scores to the teaching or counseling units of candidates. No one is allowed to use the results of this test to evaluate and interfere with the normal English teaching in schools, and no one is allowed to use the results of PETS test to replace the English final exam in ordinary middle schools and universities.
The validity period of PETS test scores at all levels is determined by the admissions department or the employer.
Those who have passed the written test of PETS-2 can learn English by themselves without taking the test. Those who pass the CET-3 written test can be exempted from the English self-study test (II). Candidates who can be exempted from taking English (2) can also be exempted from taking English (1).
Matters needing attention
edit
1. Candidates fill in the registration card or provide relevant information in other forms according to the requirements of the registration point, and perform various procedures as required. Then get the admission ticket and the examination notice at the time and place designated by the local examination institution, otherwise you will still be unable to take the examination. Candidates should carefully check the information on the admission ticket when registering, and request to change the registration point in time if there are any mistakes.
2. The day before the exam, it is best for candidates to get familiar with the examination room at the examination place arranged in the exam notice.
3. During the examination, candidates should strictly abide by the candidates' code and follow the guidance of invigilators. Those who violate the examination regulations will have their examination results cancelled.
4. Before the exam, candidates must prepare a black pen and a 2B pencil. Other types of pens are not allowed in the exam.
5. The registration place for Level 1 B(PETS 1B)- Level 4 (PETS 4)*** Level 5 examination shall be decided by the educational examination institutions of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. Please consult them for the specific registration time and place. The registration place of the fifth level (PETS 5, the original WSK-EPT) is in WSK test sites all over the country.
6. Candidates for the 6.PETS exam are not restricted by regions and can apply for exams across regions.
7. Candidates should take the exam on time. Candidates for written examination will be admitted from 8:30, and will not be admitted after 8:45. Candidates who are interviewed in the morning will be admitted from 8:30, and will not be admitted after 9:00. Candidates who are interviewed in the afternoon will be admitted from 13:30, and will not be admitted after 14:00.

Three certificates are indispensable.
Examination skills
edit
Preparation before exam
Because the examination room is randomly selected, some candidates are prone to be late. The admission time for the PETS exam is 8: 45 in the morning. After that, you can't enter, so candidates must pay attention and don't be late. It is recommended to go out one hour in advance, or go to the examination room to explore the situation a few days in advance.
Candidates also need to pay attention to the dress of the day, especially in summer. Some male students wear thick clothes and keep sweating before starting the exam, which will inevitably affect their mood during the exam. Some female students are dressed too lightly, which may affect the examiner's evaluation of the overall impression of their oral test. In addition, through years of teaching and invigilation experience, pets teacher of New Oriental reminds students that stationery should be well prepared on the day of the exam. Some candidates raised their hands and asked the teacher if there were any extra pencils before the exam. If the exam is affected by these unexpected situations, it will not be worth the loss. I suggest you prepare two 2B wooden pencils instead of mechanical pencils. Ballpoint pens and pens should also be tried in advance. I want to remind you in particular that the correction fluid can't be used in the PETS exam. If a student uses correction fluid, his paper will be considered invalid.
Examination skills
A few minutes before the listening test, the teacher will hand out the test papers. At this time, some students will start to do multiple-choice questions or reading questions in a hurry. In fact, at this time, we should have a good look at the listening questions and get familiar with the scenes to be tested in the listening test. Adequate preparation is of great benefit to the listening test.
If you encounter a question that you didn't hear clearly, candidates can consider giving up this question and concentrate on the next one. Don't stare too hard at a topic, which will affect the performance behind, and let small questions ruin your test mood.
The order of answering questions should be skillful, and you should learn to get high marks. For example, level 2, the first choice is multiple choice, and then cloze. Many students spend their time in cloze. In fact, this part of the score is very small. What really widens the gap with the majority of candidates is reading! Instead of spending half an hour doing cloze, take some time to have a good look and review the reading questions carefully.
Some students won't do composition in the end because they don't have enough training at ordinary times. I suggest that before preparing for the exam, you can prepare several common types of compositions, such as two-level letter composition and three-level icon composition. In this way, when it comes to the real exam, you can be confident.
The oral exam is still very subjective. In addition to your own oral quality, you often depend on the teacher's impression of you, which is very similar to the intermediate and advanced interpretation test. The examiner can't 100% focus on every word of every student, and finally give the overall impression score of the candidates.
PETS exam candidates can let you pass as long as they reach 3 points or more. So, when you come in, give the teacher a smile and say good morning. These little moves are your "extra points" behavior.
There will be some candidates in every exam, and they will take the exam directly without any training. Most of these candidates want to take a chance and see if they can pass the grade.
According to the examiner's experience, such candidates generally have written tests, but when it comes to oral tests, most of them can't even understand the obvious questions. Therefore, I suggest that before the oral exam, whether you have attended a training class or not, you should at least know the type and process of the exam.
In the second level oral examination, the examiner met such a student. When he entered the examination room, he said to the examiner in English, "My English is very poor. Can we talk directly without making this form? " Of course, this is impossible. The examination is based on justice. Don't think you can pass such an exam by luck.
Finally, candidates remember, don't say a word, as long as you speak, there will still be a little score. Even if you don't speak well, you should speak.
In addition, the whole oral examination process may make candidates nervous. Some candidates keep wiping their sweat, stuttering or even breaking sentences, and even the examiner has no patience to finish listening. Candidates are advised to take a deep breath to keep themselves relaxed. Although there is a time limit for each oral part, as long as you can speak your answers confidently and communicate with your partner naturally, you won't lose many points.
