全国英语等级考试(Public English lest System,简称PETS)是教育部考试**设计并负责的全国性英语水平考试。PETS是我国惟一面向全体社会公民的多级别的权威英语测试体系,人们可以根据自己的英语水平选择参加其中任何一个级别的考试。PETS分为笔试和口试两个相对独立的考查部分,对考生听、说、读、写等能力进行全面考查,对合格者颁发相应的英语等级证书,以满足社会上英语能力鉴定和人才市场的需求。
高等教育自学考试专科和本科的公共英语考试己分别承认PETS-2和PETS-3考试。PFTS-5考试已经替代了主要用于评价公派出国留学人员英语水平的全国外语水平考试(WSK)中的英语水平考试(EPT)。PETS-2和PETS-4考试的标准和题型已经用于改造了全国普通高考和全国硕士研究生入学统一考试中的英语考试。有关省份的普通高考英语听力考试成绩采用PETS-2听力考试成绩,高考外语类考生的口试使用了PETS-2口试。
