After several months of studying and preparing, many students are anxious about the English level they have achieved and whether they can pass the CET-4 exam. So, what is the passing score for the CET-4 exam in English?
According to the official announcement of the Ministry of Education of China, the passing score for CET-4 is 425 points, and candidates who score 425 points or above in the overall total grade are considered as passing the exam.
However, is just achieving the minimum passing score enough to prove that you have really mastered English at the required level?
Lets discuss the following aspects:
1. The relationship between the CET-4 score and English level
The CET-4 exam mainly assesses the test-takers ability to read, listen and translate general English materials. The passing score of 425 means that candidates have mastered a basic and fundamental level of English, including a vocabulary of about 5,000 words, basic grammar and communicative competence. However, in terms of practical application, we need at least a score of 550 points to reach a daily conversation level in English.
2. The impact of the CET-4 score on future development
The CET-4 is a national English proficiency test for college students and directly related to the eligibility of receiving a bachelors degree. However, the score of CET-4 is not the only standard for evaluating students English proficiency, and it is difficult to accurately evaluate the level of a students English proficiency with the score alone. Therefore, students should not blindly pursue a higher score, but also pay attention to their actual English level. For example, some students may focus too much on passing the exam, overlooking the importance of cultivating their ability to communicate effectively in English, which will affect their future development in the international job market.
3. Suggestions for the study of CET-4
The study of CET-4 cannot be separated from the improvement of English proficiency as a whole. In addition to mastering the basic knowledge of English, students should also focus on reading English writing, listening to English radio and movies, and practicing English listening and speaking. At the same time, it is also important to develop the habit of use English in daily life. Meanwhile, students should develop systematic study plans and concentrate on different learning purposes and stages of CET-4.
Therefore, while students must achieve a passing score of 425 or above to obtain a bachelors degree, they should not be confined to the exam score. Based on a solid language foundation, strengthening communication and practical English skills is the ultimate goal of English learning.
