Level division:

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 the self-taught college (I) and the diploma exam).

Pets-3: Level 3 is an intermediate level, which is equivalent to the level of China students who have studied English in colleges and universities for two years after graduating from high school or have taught themselves English courses of the same level. (The qualified written test scores at this level can replace the English (II) test scores at the undergraduate stage of the self-study exam. )

Pets-4: CET-4 is the upper-middle level, which is equivalent to the level of China students who have studied English for at least 3-4 years at university or have taught themselves English courses of the same level after graduating from high school.

Pets-5: Band 5 is the highest level, which is equivalent to the level of college English majors in China at the end of the second year. It is an English proficiency test specially designed for those who apply for public study abroad.

Extended data:

The difference between PETS and CET:

1. On the topic, PETS has an oral exam, but CET doesn't. PETS sets questions according to the actual needs of communicative competence inspection at all levels, mainly including: objective questions-multiple choices, choice compatibility; Semi-objective test questions-correcting mistakes, filling in the blanks, and simply summarizing; Subjective questions-thesis writing, translation, oral examination.

2. In fact, because PETS pays more attention to the cultivation of communicative competence and interactive learning, it can improve learners' English level in an all-round way, thus giving full play to the role of English in practical application.

3. From the perspective of social recognition, PETS is undoubtedly authoritative, because it was introduced by the Ministry of Education. Moreover, the Ministry of Education is vigorously promoting this kind of examination and making it the only standard for all employers in China to measure the English level of English majors.

4. CET-3 is roughly equivalent to CET-4, CET-4 is roughly equivalent to CET-6, and 4.PETS-5 standard is equivalent to the level of college English majors in China at the end of the second year.

Social candidates can't apply for CET-4 and CET-6, so with more and more English learners, PETS is likely to become the most popular social test.
