The purpose of CET-4 is to promote the implementation of college English syllabus, objectively and accurately measure college students' English ability, and serve to improve the teaching quality of college English courses in China.
The Ministry of Education entrusts the National College English Band 4 and Band 6 Examination Committee (named "College English Band 4 and Band 6 Examination Design Group before 1993") to design, organize, manage and implement the College English Band 4 and Band 6 Examination.
According to the two college English syllabuses used by science and engineering undergraduates and liberal arts undergraduates, the college English test is divided into four levels and six levels, which are organized and implemented by the Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education (formerly the State Education Commission).
After the annual examination, the results will be announced in August or September, and the transcripts will be distributed. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education, there is no passing line in CET-4 and CET-6, and you can apply for CET-6 if you score above 425. Therefore, it is generally believed that the passing line of CET-4 and CET-6 is 425. The scores of CET-4 and CET-6 are ranking scores, and there is no total score.

CET-4 Computer Test
Characteristics of computer examination
1, the proportion of listening increases.
It is very different from the traditional written test, and the computer test pays more attention to listening, which accounts for 70%. Listening requirements have also been added to the composition part. First of all, you should watch a video. After understanding the video, briefly describe the video content in the composition and explain your own views.
2. Add follow-up links
Follow-up reading is added at the back of the listening part, asking candidates to repeat the conversations they heard before into the microphone of the computer, so as to test whether the candidates' spoken English is standard. So before the exam, candidates need to debug the microphone volume of the computer.
3. Changes in computer test questions
The questions of pure listening still account for 35% like the paper-and-pencil test in the new Band 4, and the follow-up questions can be included in the scope of listening and speaking. Other questions except pure reading are based on listening materials or reading materials, which cannot be completely included in the listening part.
The topic of pure reading has been reduced from 35% of the paper-and-pencil test in the new level 4 to 30%, but there are still other topics that may be related to reading. Generally speaking, reading can not be ignored, especially listening. Based on listening and reading, the new CET-4 better proves the relationship between input and output from the perspective of linguistics.
