There are three sets of real questions in CET-4 to prevent cheating. The listening content of the three sets of papers is the same, but the order of ABCD options has changed. Other parts will be different, each type of questions will be randomly combined, but the difficulty of the three sets of papers is similar. 20 19, 12, the national English test band 4 and band 6 began to adopt the mode of "multiple questions and multiple papers".

"Multiple questions and multiple volumes" refers to multiple sets of papers with different contents in the same examination room. The influence of the difficulty difference between multiple sets of papers on the candidates' performance will be dealt with through the equivalent calculation between papers, so the candidates' performance will not be affected by the difficulty difference of the papers they answered.
