However, it is generally believed that the passing line of CET-4 and CET-6 is 425 because you can only apply for CET-6 with a score of 425 or above. The scores of CET-4 and CET-6 are ranking scores, and there is no total score.
According to the time interval between the announcement of CET-4 and CET-6 results in previous years, the general results will be announced about 66 days after the end of the exam. College English test has been recognized by the society and has become one of the standards for recruiting college graduates by personnel departments at all levels.
College graduates are not required to pass CET-4, but some colleges and universities require CET-4 to obtain a degree certificate. The specific requirements still depend on the school policy. Most schools will set a score line of Grade 4, which will be lower than the score line stipulated by the Ministry of Education. As long as they pass, they can get a degree certificate.
The purpose of CET-4 is to promote the implementation of college English syllabus, measure college students' English ability objectively and accurately, 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.
