Cambridge English Exam Results
Using The Cambridge English Scale, you will receive a separate score for each of the four skills—reading, writing, listening & speaking—as well as Use of English.
The Cambridge English Scale
The Cambridge English Scale is a range of scores used to report results for most Cambridge English exams.
You will receive a separate score for each of the four skills - reading, writing, listening & speaking - as well as Use of English, giving you a clear understanding of your performance. These five scores are averaged to give you an overall result for the exam.
You will also be given a grade and a CEFR level. The CEFR breaks down language into six levels – from A1 (beginning) to C2 (advanced) – of English proficiency.
Within each of these six CEFR levels, there is a range. The Cambridge English Scale reports exactly where within a CEFR level a test candidate has scored. This gives a much more precise measurement of language proficiency.
The video below provides a good, brief explanation of the scale...what it is...how it works...and the benefits it brings to candidates, teachers, institutions and other users of Cambridge exams.
Cambridge Exams within the Cambridge English Scale
Please note that the Young Learner English (YLE) exams are not supported on the Cambridge English Scale. They use a different measurement system to determine a pre-A1 to A2 proficiency level.
A Cambridge English exam is much more than just a certificate. Preparing for your Cambridge exam will help you learn and develop—step by step—better speaking, writing, reading, and listening skills.
