Features: The College English Test Band 4 and 6 (CET-4 and CET-6) has been ongoing for fifteen years. Since the beginning of this year, rumors of major reforms in the test have been rampant. From a developmental perspective, reform is inevitable. Over the past decade and a half, the designers of the CET-4 and CET-6 have made numerous beneficial efforts to refine the test, making it better serve college English teaching and more effectively fulfill its guiding role. The introduction of new question types is clear evidence of such reforms. Since 1996, the CET-4 and CET-6 have gradually adopted question types such as dictation, compound dictation, error correction, English-Chinese translation, and short-answer questions. Moreover, in the announcement regarding the adoption of new question types, the test committee stated, "We will continue to introduce new question types." It is predicted that to further improve the CET-4 and CET-6, a new question type—Chinese-English translation—may be introduced in the near future. Adhering to the brand leadership strategy and always providing the newest and authoritative exam information has been the fundamental reason for the nationwide success of Wang Maimei English series books over the past decade, leading the industry and standing out among competitors.
