Cantest of SMU TESL 考试概况
Cantest是指Canadian Test of English for Scholars and Trainees (CanTEST)。在SMU的Cantest语言考试一般分为Official和Non-official 两种。一般考试情况如下：

Official Cantest： * c' R0 k4 f$ U n6 o
3 S6 G" K) t& I& C3 }! Z2 F
任何人均可以报名，报名费在internal candidates（看TEST DETAILS）是C$175 + 税，过了internal candidates（即external candidates）以后是C$225 + 税。考试时间一般是在星期六，一年有6次考试机会（看CanTEST DATES）。考试分听力、快速阅读、阅读、写作、口语几个部分。由于考试人数不多，所以一般在一个小教室考试。评分按听力、阅读、写作和口语4部分，满分5分。分数要求平均4.5以上，并且没有低于4.0的分数（就是听力、阅读、写作和口语全部都要在4.0以上）。Official Cantest的成绩在加拿大很多个大学（包括多伦多大学等一些所谓的NB大学）都承认。 !

Non-official Cantest是报读TESL的学生开学时进行的分级考试，以及在读学生在出勤率及格的情况下进行的final 考试。与Official Cantest不一样的是没有口语部分，其他的相同。由于一般考生很多，所以在大礼堂或者大会议室进行考试。考试的成绩只有SMU承认，一般只作下一期就读TESL的分级标准。如果你下一期不读TESL或者隔一段时间再读，那这个成绩就不起作用了。因为你再回来读书的话就算是returning student，要重新进行开学的分级考试。
