错这一类型在CET六级考试中占有重要的地位。根据《大学英语六级考试大纲》规定，综合改错(Error Correction)共10题，考试时间15分钟，在一篇题材熟悉、难度适中的短文(约200词)中有10行标有题号，每行有一个错误(不含拼写或标点错误)。这种篇章型的短文改错形式，与传统的句子改错相比，难度增大。这部分试题主要测试学生的英语综合表达能力，要求学生在全面理解内容的基础上，根据上、下文增添、删去或改正某一个词(或词组)，使短文意思连贯，结构正确。
具体答题方法如下：
☆ 改正 将文中错词用斜线(/)划去，在后面横线上填入正确的词，表示替换该错词。 （请注意我们文章里面用的是periods这种横线，考试应该划斜线的）
☆ 删去 在文中将错词用斜线(/)划去，在后面横线上也划一斜线(/)，表示该错词是多余的。
☆ 增添 在文中两词间加“∧”号，表示有遗漏，然后在横线上添入遗漏的词的正确形式。

大学英语六级改错是六级考试不同于其他英语水平考试的一种特殊形式。它之所以备受出题者的青睐，是因为它需要考生对英语具备相当高的综合能力。考生的得分率往往不高。无论语法、词汇、理解还是惯用法都能成为改错的对象，因此考生要在改错方面取得好成绩必须具备较好的语言基础知识(词汇、短语和语法)和相当的语言综合运用能力(词义、词形、词性、句型、结构、固定短语等)。
为了让考生迅速熟悉六级改错的题型并掌握解改错题的基本方法，这里以一篇六级改错真题和一篇六级改错模拟题为例，详细讨论六级改错的题型特点，并加以归纳、总结，使考生对六级改错有全面的了解，掌握解题思路和技巧，不至于考试时看到一道改错题，觉得无从下手。
