Features: This book includes 12 sets of simulated tests, with detailed explanations for each set. The sample tests are highly targeted and forward-looking, suitable for candidates' pre-examination training and for teachers to analyze the exam direction. The Public English Test System (PETS), abbreviated as PETS, is a series of exams jointly designed and developed by the National Education Examination Center of China, the British Department for International Development, and the British University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate. Its purpose is to reasonably set evaluation standards for each level of the exam based on a unified ability scale, in line with China's social development, especially the needs of reform and opening-up and expanding foreign exchanges. It focuses on assessing candidates' language communicative abilities in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, in order to support relevant teaching reforms and ensure the equivalence of candidates' scores across different exam sessions at the same level, thereby improving the reliability of the exam. Gradually, it will connect relevant exams for higher education admission, overseas study, and self-study, making it possible to diversify the use of candidates' scores and serve the reform of enrollment and employment exams for candidates.
PETS is divided into five levels and is open to the public, with no restrictions on candidates' profession, age, or educational background. This series of books provides simulated tests of varying difficulty levels for candidates at different levels, enabling them to improve their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in real exam scenarios and thereby overcome the challenges of the exam. According to the PETS syllabus, PETS Level 4 is equivalent to the English proficiency of non-English major master's degree students in higher education institutions or those who have self-studied English courses of similar difficulty, requiring mastery of approximately 5,000 words and related phrases.
The PETS Level 4 written exam lasts 140 minutes and consists of four sections: Listening, English Knowledge Application, Reading Comprehension, and Writing. This book is compiled according to the latest PETS Level 4 exam syllabus, including 12 sets of simulated tests. In both form and content, it strictly adheres to the past Level 4 exam questions, allowing candidates to immerse themselves in the exam atmosphere and prepare psychologically and technically for the test, achieving confidence and clarity.
The primary target audience for this book is candidates taking the National Public English Test Level 4. It can also be used as a reference for candidates preparing for the College English Test Band 6 (CET-6), TOEFL, Professional English Exams, and other English enthusiasts.
