4. English majors of Grade 2002 who took the 20 19 unified examination for English majors but failed can take this make-up exam, but it is only an opportunity. If you don't take the exam, you will automatically give up, and the opportunity to make up the exam will not be postponed. (The number of the candidate type is "70")

Note: 1. Key foreign language institutions refer to Beijing Foreign Studies University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, university of international business and economics, Tianjin Foreign Studies University, Dalian Foreign Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Sichuan International Studies University, Xi International Studies University and other 15 institutions.

Note: 2. Candidates who fail to pass the basic stage unified examination (TEM4) can also take the advanced stage unified examination (TEM8).

Note: 3. English majors who graduated from ordinary colleges and adult colleges with "3+2" and "2+2" academic systems can take the unified examination for English majors in the basic stage (CET-4) as make-up candidates in the first year after graduation. The candidate category is "70", but this is only an opportunity and will not be extended. Two-year and three-year English majors in ordinary colleges and adult colleges can take the TEM-8 exam as normal candidates in the year of graduation. The categories of candidates are "40" and "50" respectively, and they can take the make-up exam once in the following year, and the opportunity for the make-up exam will not be postponed.

TEM-8 is called "Unified Examination for Senior English Majors in Colleges and Universities". Since 199 1, the Foreign Language Teaching Steering Committee of the Ministry of Education of Chinese mainland has organized and implemented an investigation of English majors in national comprehensive universities. The content of the exam covers all aspects of English listening, reading, writing and translation. 20 19 added humanistic knowledge. Written examination. The oral test is assessed separately, and it is named CET-8 Oral and Interpreting Test for English Majors. After passing the test, the CET-8 Oral and Interpreting Certificate for English Majors will be issued. However, the popularity of oral examination is not enough, and the number of participants is not large. More English majors don't know that there is a TEM-8 oral test.

The cover time of TEM-8 certificate is in early March of each year, and the target is senior students majoring in English and related majors. Non-English and related majors and students who are not in school cannot take the exam. Those who pass the exam will be awarded a report card by the foreign language teaching steering Committee of colleges and universities. The score is divided into three grades: 60-69 is qualified; 70-79 is good; More than 80 points is excellent. Certificates issued after passing the examination are valid for life. Since 2003, those who fail the exam can make up the exam once. Only after passing the make-up exam will a certificate be issued.

English major examination is an undergraduate teaching examination to test the implementation of English major syllabus. According to the National Education Commission's English Teaching Syllabus for English Majors in Colleges and Universities, the teaching tasks and objectives of the basic stage of English majors in colleges and universities are to "impart basic knowledge of English, train students with comprehensive and strict basic skills, cultivate students' practical ability to use language, cultivate students' good learning style and correct learning methods, cultivate students' logical thinking ability and independent working ability, enrich students' social and cultural knowledge, enhance their sensitivity to cultural differences, and lay a solid foundation for their promotion to senior grades. The task of English teaching for senior English majors in colleges and universities is to "continue to lay a good foundation of language, further expand knowledge, and focus on cultivating comprehensive English skills, enriching cultural knowledge and improving communicative competence."

The uniqueness and scarcity of professional CET-4 and CET-6 certificates are mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1. In general universities, only English majors are eligible to take the exam, and students from other majors are not eligible to sign up for the exam (not even CET-6);

2. In foreign studies universities (Shanghai International Studies University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University, Sichuan International Studies University, etc.). ), except for English language majors, other related majors can register for the exam (CET-6 must reach 600 or above), such as international trade and tourism management.

Generally, only when you are a sophomore can you register for the fourth year, and when you are a senior can you register for the eighth year. If you fail, you can make up the exam once in the second year, only once, and you must take the exam in the second year and you can't postpone it. For example, when I was a senior at 20 19, I failed the TEM-8 exam for English majors. 20 19 you can go back to the graduation school and make up the exam again. If you fail again, you can't register for the exam in the future. If I didn't take the make-up exam on 20 19, it means that I gave up the opportunity to take the make-up exam and can't sign up for the exam in the future.

4. CET-4 is basically above CET-6, TEM-8 is even more difficult than GRE, and there are more English-Chinese and Chinese-English translation questions than GRE. Listen to the tape and fill in the blanks.

The average pass rate is only about 50%.

At present, CET-4 and CET-6 are widely recognized in the society. However, it is an indisputable fact that TEM-48 is a little better than CET-46. In the aspect of proving English proficiency certificate, the highest level certificate in the domestic examination scope is professional level 8. If you can have such a certificate in your hand, you can imagine the priority of job hunting, salary increase, job hopping and job title evaluation in the future.

Pets can take the exam, and social workers can take the exam. High social recognition.

This is the information that you can see for yourself.

Public English Test System (PETS) is a national English proficiency test system designed and managed by the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education. As an educational exchange and cooperation project between the Chinese and British governments, it received technical support from British experts in the design process.

From June 65438 to June 0999, the examination center of the Ministry of Education held a press conference to formally introduce the PETS examination system to the society. In September of the same year, the PETS 1~4 exam was held in Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Shandong, Henan, Guangdong and other provinces and cities. In 2000, the examination was expanded to 15 provinces and cities, with nearly100000 candidates. Since September, 1999, the relevant units have officially replaced the previous WSK EPT exam with PETS-5 exam. China Education Examination Center is using PETS2 and PETS4 test standards to reform the English test in senior high school entrance examination and postgraduate examination. At present, it is planned to replace English test 1 with PETS2 test.

The PETS exam * * * has five levels:

PETS- 1 is the primary level. Candidates who have passed this level of examination basically meet the basic needs of foreign exchange in the same level positions as taxi drivers, hotel bellboy, doorman and traffic police. (where PETS- 1 has a subordinate PETS- 1B)

PETS-2 is below average. Candidates who pass this level of examination basically meet the threshold of entering colleges and universities for further study, and at the same time basically meet the basic needs of foreign exchanges at the same level as hotel receptionists, ordinary employees of banks and ordinary employees of foreign-related enterprises.

PETS-3 is an intermediate level. Candidates who pass this level of examination can reach the graduation level of non-English majors in higher education self-study examination or the graduation threshold of non-English majors in ordinary colleges and universities, and basically meet the basic needs of administrative secretaries, assistant managers, junior technicians, employees of foreign companies and other jobs at the same level in foreign exchanges.

PETS-4 is an upper-middle level, and the English level of the candidates who have passed this level examination basically meets the needs of non-English majors in colleges and universities, and basically meets the basic English threshold of ordinary professional and technical personnel or scientific researchers, modern enterprise managers and other jobs.

PETS-5 is the highest level, and the English level of candidates who pass this level of examination basically meets the needs of studying non-English majors or engaging in academic research abroad. This level of English can also meet their basic needs for professional and management work at home and abroad. (basically equivalent to domestic English major level 2)

These five levels of examination standards are all based on the same ability scale, and there are obvious differences and internal relations between them.

Why set up pets?

The purpose of establishing PETS is to provide a set of scientific and reasonable evaluation criteria for improving the original English education examination. Change the passive situation that the current English examination is too closed and out of touch with social needs, provide the society with an English examination system for the public, promote the popularization and improvement of English throughout the country, and adapt to the situation of China's reform and opening up and expand foreign exchanges. By testing the level of candidates, English grade certificates are issued to meet the needs of the society for English proficiency appraisal and talent market. A comprehensive examination of candidates' listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities will promote the reform of English teaching and reverse the unfavorable situation of "unable to understand and speak, and it is difficult to communicate directly with foreigners". The multi-level English examination system is also in line with the trend of lifelong learning and education in today's society.

What is the content and threshold of PETS exam?

The competence of National English Test (PETS) is based on "communicative language behavior pattern", which focuses on the communicative competence of candidates. PETS test includes listening, language knowledge, reading, writing and speaking. The PETS Examination Outline compiled by the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education clearly stipulates the specific assessment content, threshold, vocabulary and sample questions.

What English skills does PETS examine?

The ability of pets is based on "communicative language behavior pattern". This model takes the need of language communication as the purpose of mastering a foreign language, and divides language ability into "acceptance", "output" and "interaction". According to various situations and tasks, under specific themes and texts, teaching or examination is conducted in combination with relevant language behaviors. The relationship between these abilities and listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities is as follows:

Acceptability-Reading and Listening

Output ability-writing and speaking

Interactive ability-direct communication between written language and oral language

PETS focuses on communicative competence, but it does not completely exclude the examination of language knowledge (grammar, vocabulary, etc.). ). So the content of PETS test includes: listening, language knowledge, reading, writing and speaking.

What's wrong with pets?

In order to improve the validity of junior and senior high school exams, PETS sets up test questions according to the actual needs of communicative competence tests at all levels. Mainly includes:

Objectivity test questions-multiple choice and choice compatibility

Semi-objective test questions-correcting mistakes, filling in the blanks, simply summarizing, etc.

Subjective questions-thesis writing, translation and oral examination

See the relevant examination syllabus for the specific questions used in the examinations at all levels.

What are the forms of PETS exam? When is the exam?

Each level of examination includes written examination and oral examination. The written test includes a listening test. The examination takes the form of written examination before oral examination. There are two main types of written test questions: objective questions and subjective questions. Candidates can only fill in specific answer sheets when answering objective questions. In addition to the subjective questions of level 2 (PETS 2), subjective questions of other levels are also answered on the answer sheet specially designed for this level (see Part V for the styles and filling methods of answer sheets at all levels).

Face-to-face conversation is adopted in the oral test, and two candidates (Grade B candidates) are tested by two oral test teachers at each oral test. During the examination, one oral examination teacher did not participate in the conversation, but specialized in marking papers, while the other presided over the oral examination, talking with the candidates at any time and marking papers.

The duration of exams at different levels is different, specifically:

1 B: 90 minutes for written test and 3 minutes for oral test;

Level 1: 90 minutes for written test and 8 minutes for oral test;

Level 2: written test 120 minutes, oral test 10 minutes;

Level 3: written test 120 minutes, oral test 10 minutes;

Band 4: written test 140, oral test 12;

CET-5: written test 140 minutes, oral test 15 minutes.

(The speaking time at all levels listed above is the upper limit.)

In order to meet the actual needs of candidates, since 2003, PETS 1, 2, 3 and 5 have been offered twice a year, once in the first half and once in the second half. 1 B and 4 are only available in the first half of the year. The specific annual examination date and examination grade shall be subject to the notice of the local examination institution.

The first half of the year: the exam on the second Saturday and Sunday in March-pets1,1B, 2, 3.

The fifth test will be held on the fourth Saturday in June.

The second half of the year: the second Saturday and Sunday in September-test pet 1, 1B, 2, 3, 4.

65438+the third Saturday in February-the test of PETS5 will be held.

How is the scope of application and validity of PETS scores stipulated?

In the PETS grade description, the applicable scope of test scores at all levels is given for reference only by 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 their teaching or counseling units. No one may use the test results to evaluate and interfere with the normal English teaching in schools, and no one may use the PETS test results to replace the English graduation exams 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.

What is the nature of the National English Test (PETS)? By what organization?

The National English Test is a social, open and non-academic English test for all citizens. It is an ability test to test candidates' English communicative competence.

This test is a national English proficiency test sponsored by the People's Republic of China and the Ministry of Education (hereinafter referred to as the Ministry of Education), designed, developed and managed by the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education. Specifically, the examination center of the Ministry of Education is responsible for the formulation of examination syllabus, proposition, examination management, the identification of candidates' scores and the issuance of certificates, as well as the examination and approval of provincial implementation agencies. Examination institutions under the leadership of the education committees of provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) are responsible for the specific implementation of local examinations [PETS 5 (formerly WSK EPT) is still implemented by WSK test sites all over the country. In addition, PETS is an educational exchange and cooperation project between the Chinese and British governments. In the design process, PETS also received financial support from DFID and technical support from UCLES.

How much is the exam fee?

The examination fee for Grade B, Grade I and Grade II is 120 yuan; The third-level examination fee is: 125 yuan; The fee for CET-4 is 145 yuan;

All levels also receive certificate fees in 6 yuan; [Edit this paragraph] Pre-test preparation and test-taking methods for the National English Proficiency Test

Pre-test preparation Because the examination room is randomly selected, some candidates are easy 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, the stationery on the day of the exam should be fully prepared. Some candidates raised their hands and asked the teacher if there were any extra pencils before the exam. If these unexpected circumstances affect the exam, 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 method

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.

There must be a way to answer questions in order, and you must 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, it is more about 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 and counseling. 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, it is suggested that before the oral test, whether you have participated in training courses or not, you should at least understand the type and process of the test.

In this year's 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 more points.
