对于大部分人来说，想要在国内继续读研究生，四级甚至六级的关是一定要过的，甚至有些学校要求本科毕业也要过四级。
研究生开学的时候，一些专业会根据学生的英语水平分班，以此决定学生英语是否能够免修。这时候，你的六级成绩就是一个关键的参考因素。
而在就业上，一些比较热门的行业都对四六级成绩均有要求，特别像是公务员、银行职员等，要求一般是英语专业毕业生应通过国家专业八级考试，其他外语类专业毕业生应通过主修语种的相应水平考试。其他专业毕业生一般应通过大学英语六级考试(成绩不低于425分)。

关注特殊词汇，学习日常生活词语
段落翻译的重点依然是词汇，特别是较为特殊的翻译类词汇，通过样卷分析，建议考生多关注一下和中国节日、历史事件、经济文化、旅游活动、社会发展等相关的词汇。大家可以关注以反映中国社会为主的一些英文杂志和报纸，例如中国日报及其网站。这份报纸的大部分内容确实超越了考生的实际水平，但考生可以学习一些涉及日常生活的词语。
每天看看网站中的头条新闻，配合中文新闻的背景，就可以学到很多表达。中国日报网站下面的一个小栏目：language tips，有大量简单实用的双语文章，考生有时间可关注。同时，考生要购进一些难度不大的翻译书籍，注意中英文的切换规则。
写长难句可增加得分点
段落翻译的另一难点就是长难句的攻克，平时加大对长难句的分析，考试中才能写出精彩得分的句型。分析从句比较多的长难句，要找到句子的切分点，切分点主要有两种，一个是直接看到的，即连接词that、which、who、when等等;另外一个是潜在的，即各种动词形式，包括doing、to do(单独使用的)、done等等。
最后，注意做翻译一定要坚持两点，即打草稿和"写"。在头脑中形成的翻译不是翻译，落到纸上，仍然不一定是通顺的句子，所以，每次在做翻译时，一定要坚持把语言写出来，这样才能提高语言组织能力。同时，长难句的翻译不是一气呵成的，要练习如何打草稿，保证不会因直接誊写出现涂改问题，通过平时的草稿练习，也锻炼下打草稿的清晰程度，避免在誊写时丢掉一些东西。
