The TEM-8 examination for English majors is sponsored by the Teaching Steering Committee for Foreign Language Majors in colleges and universities (not sponsored by the Ministry of Education). It is held once a year in March, and the exam is held in the morning. Problems include listening, reading, error correction, translation and writing. The examination covers all aspects of English listening, reading, writing and translation. In 2005, humanities knowledge was added. Written examination.
The oral test is assessed separately, and it is named CET-8 Oral and Interpreting Test for English Majors. After passing the test, the CET-8 Oral and Interpreting Certificate for English Majors will be issued. However, the popularity of oral examination is not enough, and the number of participants is not large. Many English majors don't know that there is a TEM-8 oral test.
The uniqueness and scarcity of professional CET-4 and CET-6 certificates are mainly manifested in the following aspects:
1. In general universities, only English majors are eligible to take the exam, and students from other majors are not eligible to take the exam (even if they get excellent results in CET-6).
2. In foreign studies universities (Shanghai International Studies University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Xiwai University, Guangzhou Foreign Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University, Sichuan International Studies University, etc.). ), in addition to English language majors, other related majors can apply (CET-6 must reach 600 or above), such as international trade and tourism management.
3. Generally, only sophomore can apply for the fourth year, and senior can apply for the eighth year. If you fail, you can make up the exam once in the second year, only once, and you must take the exam in the second year and you can't postpone it. For example, when I was a senior in 2008, I failed the CET-8. In 2009, I can go back to the school where I graduated and retake the exam again. If I fail again, I can't apply in the future.
