College English Test - Before 2005 Reform

Before 2005 Reform

Before the 2005 reform, the maximum score was 100 points. This test was held nationally twice a year in June and December. The CET consisted of the non-English-specialized "Band 4" (CET4), in which certificate-holders have reached the English level of non-English major undergraduate students, and "Band 6" (CET6), in which the certificate-holders have reached the English level of non-English major postgraduates. The test included listening, reading and writing sections. The spoken test was optional and required certain points from the written test.
