Features: "The Public English Test System (PETS)" is an English examination series designed by the National Education Examination Administration Center, consisting of five levels and open to the general public. Its design intent and purpose are to establish an English examination system that covers all levels of English proficiency, improve examination methods to address the long-standing challenge of "silent English," enhance the reliability of English proficiency assessments, and provide genuine and credible English proficiency results for candidates with various purposes. PETS Level 5 is the highest level in the PETS series, a non-academic English examination with no restrictions on candidate backgrounds. This level of examination requires candidates to master approximately 7,500 words and related phrases, including newly emerging vocabulary and expressions in current world economy, technology, humanities, and society. For this purpose, a specific vocabulary outline has been formulated. However, it should be noted that occasionally, the reading materials in the exam may contain a very limited number of words and phrases beyond the vocabulary outline, which are not annotated.
