Abstract: Test for English Majors-Band 4 (TEM-4) is a national Test for Chinese English majors in the end of their second year at university. This paper focuses on analysis and prediction of the TEM-4 performance of 77 English majors in a Chinese key university. A rich amount of data was collected including students’ demographics and family status, learning related achievement, motivation and learning journals they kept for a year with school’s permission and students’ willingness. The accuracy of three classification algorithms to predict students’ TEM-4 performance were compared and Naive Bayes Classifier is verified to gain the highest accuracy. On predicting whether the students’ TEM-4 scores might reach the excellent level, the accuracy of the model is above 90%. On predicting whether the students might pass the exam, the accuracy reaches 98%. One contributing finding of this study is that a richer set of data was collected, and we integrate the data. Another one is that students ’ written learning journals have been verified in the improvement of the accuracy of the prediction model which hasn’t been explored in the previous researches about the test.
