According to the latest official documents of TEM-4 and TEM-8, it is clearly stipulated in the application conditions of TEM-8 that candidates who fail the unified examination in the basic stage (TEM-4) can also take the unified examination in the third stage (TEM-8). Therefore, if you fail in Grade Four, you can take Grade Eight.

CET-8 is called the National College English Test-8. Since 199 1, the Ministry of Education of Chinese mainland has begun to conduct a survey of English majors in national comprehensive universities. The TEM-8 examination for English majors is sponsored by the Teaching Steering Committee for Foreign Language Majors in colleges and universities (not sponsored by the Ministry of Education).

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

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

2. In foreign studies universities (Shanghai International Studies University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Xiwai University, Guangzhou Foreign Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University, Sichuan International Studies University, etc.). ), in addition to English language majors, other related majors can apply (CET-6 must reach 600 or above), such as international trade and tourism management.

3. Generally, only sophomore can apply for the fourth year, and senior can apply 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 in 2008, I failed the CET-8. In 2009, you can go back to the graduation school and make up the exam. If you fail again, you can't take the make-up exam in the future. If you didn't take the make-up exam in 2009, you gave up the opportunity to take the make-up exam, and you can't take it 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.

College English Band 4/Band 6 is 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 your priorities in job hunting, salary increase, job hopping and job title evaluation in the future.
