The College English Test, known as CET, will not be accepted by Hong Kong’s top universities this year when they review applicants’ English skills. According to the official website of the University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, both universities will ask all applicants to offer their IELTS, TOEFL or GRE scores. Many students see this decision as raising the bar for application requirements. The minimum requirement for IELTS, for instance, is 6.5.
