Both books are needed because the "Comprehensive Guide to Vocabulary Preparation for English Tests" is aimed at the comprehensive proficiency test in English translation, while the "Test Handbook of Common Words in English Translation" (common to Level 2.3) is aimed at practical English translation Examination. These two exams, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, require serious preparation, and the practice is relatively difficult.

The Level 3 Translation Examination consists of two subjects: comprehensive ability in the morning and translation practice in the afternoon. The exam duration is two hours and three hours respectively. The full score for both subjects is 100 points, and a passing system of 60 points is adopted. Both exams must reach 60 points or more to pass the exam.

Comprehensive ability*** is divided into three parts: vocabulary and grammar selection, cloze filling, and reading comprehension.

The reference books that should be used when preparing for CATTI Level 3 Translation are as follows:

For English-Chinese translation and comprehensive subjects:

1. "New Oriental Professional Eight Vocabulary.

2. "New Oriental-GRE Vocabulary Reverse Memory Dictionary".

3. Liu Yi’s 5,000-word, 10,000-word series.

4. "Three Dimensional English Ci" by Fan Jiacai.
