Changes in the new national College English Test level 4 and level 6 held on Saturday for the first time have prompted complaints about the listening and translating sections.

In an online survey initiated by Sina Weibo, a Chinese micro blog platform, 23.1 percent out of 3,835 test-takers said they didn't finish the listening comprehension section and 17.4 percent said they handed in a blank answer sheet for listening.

"Time for listening comprehension was extremely limited, and we had to hand in our answer sheets immediately after the record ended," said Liu Junqiang, a freshman at Beijing Institute of Technology.
