There are professional and non-professional students. Non-English majors mainly take CET-4 and CET-6, and some art or junior college students also take CET-4. Generally, undergraduates have to pass CET-4, but some students with good grades will pass CET-6. Because CET-6 has a great competitive advantage, employers attach importance to CET-6. English majors, including Band 4 and Band 8, are proficiency tests for English majors and are not open to the public. Therefore, if you are not an English major in a foreign language college or an English department in a university, you are not eligible to take the exam according to the regulations (non-English majors cannot apply in principle). Even for English majors, only after passing CET-4 can they qualify for CET-8, and each candidate has only two chances to take the exam at most. Generally speaking, they are seniors. If you fail in your senior year, you can only take the last exam in the second year.

However, it should be pointed out that although TEM4 and TEM8 are only open to English majors in principle, they are not open to social candidates such as non-English majors and graduated English majors. However, some colleges and universities will agree to open up students with excellent or even good grades in Grade 6. It depends on the specific situation of each school and your luck, mainly depending on whether the academic affairs office of the school agrees with you to apply for the exam. Moreover, when applying for the exam, you usually need to use the student ID cards of each school to register collectively, and rarely accept the registration of other schools, because it will eventually affect the passing rate of school exams.

In addition, there are BEC, Cambridge Business English Certificate and Professional Title English, all of which are taken by talents in this field. If you are interested, you can learn about it alone.
