Features: PETS (Public English Test System), a social public English examination implemented by the National Education Examination Center (NEEC) under the assistance of the University of Cambridge ESOL (UCLES) in the UK, is designed for the entire country. The medium- and long-term goals of PETS are to include all social public English examinations at various levels across the nation within its scope, making it more standardized, authoritative, and comparable. To achieve this, NEEC has conducted extensive preliminary preparations and sent a group of domestic item writers to Cambridge University for specialized training. They have collaborated with British experts to discuss and finalize all aspects of implementing PETS. The examination format of PETS was designed by Chinese and British experts based on the characteristics of English learners in China. It reflects the current global trends in large-scale English examinations while fully considering the question types of mainstream domestic tests.
