Yes, you must take the exam. Band 4 and Band 6 are very important for students' future development.

First of all, individual schools can't get a bachelor's degree if they don't pass CET-4.

Secondly, some state-owned enterprises, government agencies, and grades 4 and 6 are all used to card people. English is useless, but a large number of people are stuck on this card. Individual enterprises will also get a four-level certificate. Without a certificate, hr will not submit their resumes to the department manager. For example, when I recruit a financial supervisor, I will tell hr that I am an undergraduate, intermediate, about 30 years old, and my salary is about 10000. It's no use telling hr anything experienced and professional. Therefore, no matter how severe your previous experience is, it is not undergraduate or intermediate, and your resume will not come to my desk. (Some enterprises may raise the index by four levels. )

So as far as acquisition is concerned, you can only take CET-4 during college, and others can take it after graduation. So if you don't take CET-4, then you may always face the fact that others have your certificate, others have your experience, and others have your competitive disadvantage without CET-4 and CET-6.

Finally, for the extra points of resume, CET-4 is more than any certificate. Not because English is good, but to prove that you did the right thing at the right time.

Therefore, I hope that every college student can seize the opportunity of CET-4 and CET-6 and try to pass it once without regret.
