What is CATE?
• CATE stands for Combined Aptitude Test in English• In 2009, over 6,000 students took the test for approximately
350 seats• About 12 colleges accepted CATE last year• The rationale is to ensure that students who enter this course
are good with the language. It is to wade off the probability of high academic grades-low English knowledge candidates from the pool
