Hello, everyone who is into the sea! It’s been over 2 years since I graduated, and I currently work at a design firm. Back in college, I passed the CET-4 quite early on, but I didn’t pay enough attention to the CET-6; by the time I graduated from undergraduate studies, my level was still that of CET-4. Now I’m wondering if there are any ways to take the CET-6, for example, whether it’s possible to do so through part-time study programs or something similar. Do anyone have any good suggestions?
That’s how I see it. It’s definitely possible to take the exam, but I believe that to do one’s job well, it doesn’t depend on having that CET-6 certificate. If you’re not facing the need to change jobs or if your employer doesn’t require it, I think it’s better to use your free time to improve your English skills. In particular, if you can connect your English learning with your work and research, you’ll have a clear goal, and what you learn will be highly practical, which will be very beneficial for your further development
**The English proficiency tests are only available for undergraduate students; applicants from the general public are not accepted. According to the Ministry of Education’s guidelines regarding the eligibility to take these tests, the two documents titled “Notice from the General Office of the Ministry of Education on Issuing the ‘Reform Plan for the National College English Tests at Levels 4 and 6 (Trial)’” and “Notice from the General Office of the Ministry of Education on the Handover of Certain Administrative Tasks Related to the College English Tests at Levels 4 and 6” specify the following eligibility requirements: 1. Full-time students at junior college, undergraduate, and postgraduate levels in regular universities. 2. Undergraduate and junior college students at various full-time adult colleges and universities. 3. Only students who have completed the College English Test Band 4 course are eligible to take the exam. 4. Only students who have completed the College English Test Band 6 course and achieved a certain score on the College English Test Band 4 (the specific score is to be determined as the new scoring system has not yet been implemented) are eligible to take the College English Test Band 6. Two clarifications are provided regarding the eligibility requirements for registering for the CET-4 and CET-6 exams: 1. Starting from June 2005, the National Education Examinations Authority will implement a new registration and examination management system for these exams, and candidates will be accepted for registration based on the aforementioned eligibility criteria. Students registering for the College English Test Band 6 in June 2005 are still required to present a certificate of passing the College English Test Band 4. 2. Starting from the exams in January 2006, the pool of candidates taking the exams was gradually restricted as much as possible to those within higher education institutions. Undergraduate graduates who had already graduated but still needed to take the CET-4 and CET-6 exams could register at their original universities for the exams held before June 2006 (including the exam in June 2006). Starting from January 2007, non-students will no longer be allowed to register for the Level 4 and Level 6 exams. This post was last edited by wysup on 2009-3-26 at 15:22.]
To be precise, since 2006, CET has stopped being administered to graduates. Unless: re-enrollment for the postgraduate entrance exam. Additionally, for those who have graduated, there is a TOEIC test, which is also a proficiency test. Also, you can take exams like TOEFL and GRE; you don’t have to go on to study after taking them, which is also pretty great.
It seems I can’t take the exam anymore. But if you can use English in interviews, what’s there to worry about? Otherwise, having a certificate is useless
That makes sense; being able to speak English fluently is what really matters
What’s the point of taking that exam? What really matters is one’s level of skill.
It’s probably not possible to take the exam. But just study hard*; there’s no need to worry so much about that certificate. Mastering the skills on your own is what really matters
You can take the Level 6 exam as long as you know someone! ! When I was in school, I used to act as such an agent; all you had to do was pay him two or three hundred yuan, and he would register you. But as the experts mentioned above, when it comes to working in the real world, real skills are what truly matter
I can’t take the exam anymore. But if you can use spoken language in interviews, what’s there to worry about? Otherwise, having a certificate is of no use either when it comes to the College English Test Band 4 and Band 6 for current students
It’s not about whether you can take the exam or not; it’s about whether they allow you to take it or not, haha.
CET-6 refers to college students; it is the abbreviation for the College English Test, and people outside of the university community are not eligible to take it
It seems pointless to take the CET-6 exam now that I’m already working; when changing jobs, no one will pay attention to whether I’ve passed it or not. What matters is my work experience, and when it comes to English, it’s my speaking skills and ability to communicate
Exams are no longer allowed now; you can take the professional English test. In my opinion, good speaking skills are more useful than a certificate
No, actually it is possible to acquire additional foreign language knowledge related to the field; having only a CET-6 score isn’t very useful
Don’t hold any hopes; it’s better to work hard if you want to get this qualification. Use your free time to study English on your own
