 CET-4: Registration Requirements and Passing Standards

I. Registration Requirements

Who Can Register (Eligibility)

• Full-time college students: Currently enrolled undergraduate (and some junior college / vocational) students at accredited universities and colleges in China.

• In-school requirement: CET-4 is generally open to students who are still enrolled at their institution. Graduates who have already left school usually cannot register through the regular channel.

• New enrollment: Most universities require first-year students to complete a placement test or meet a certain score before being allowed to sit for CET-4; some restrict first-semester freshmen from registering immediately.

Registration Process

• Registration is conducted through your university, not individually.

• The university submits student information and photos to the National College English Testing Committee (全国大学英语四六级考试委员会).

• Registration windows typically open in March (for the June exam) and September (for the December exam). Deadlines are set by each institution.

• You register using your student ID, pay the registration fee, and receive your admission ticket from your school.

Documentation

• A valid student ID and government-issued ID card are required at the exam venue.

• Your admission ticket (准考证) must be presented along with your ID.

Restrictions

• You can only register for CET-4 if you have not yet passed it (i.e., scored 425 or above). Once you pass, you generally cannot re-register for CET-4.

• In many universities, you must pass CET-4 before you are allowed to register for CET-6 (六级).

II. Passing Standards

Scoring System

• The CET-4 total score is 710 points.

• The test has four sections:

1. Listening Comprehension (听力) – 35% of the total

2. Reading Comprehension (阅读) – 35%

3. Writing (写作) – 15%

4. Translation (翻译) – 15%

The Passing Threshold

• The passing score is 425 points out of 710.

• A score of 425 or above is officially considered "passing" and qualifies you for a score report showing your results.

• Scores below 425 are reported as well, but they are considered "not passed."

Score Report

• Your score report (成绩单) is issued by the examination committee.

• Passing status is reflected on the report, which shows your total score and sub-scores for each section.

• The certificate/report is widely accepted as evidence of English proficiency for graduation requirements, job applications, and further studies in China.

Note on "Certificate"

• Since 2005, CET-4 no longer issues a "pass/fail certificate" but rather a score report. However, the 425-point threshold is still the universally recognized benchmark for "passing."
