How to understand your Statement of Results

All candidates receive a Statement of Results, and if they are successful in the exam, they will also receive a certificate.

Statements of Results are released online, 4-6 weeks after paper-based exams, and 5-10 working days after computer-based exams. Please note that certificates will be sent 2-3 months after the exam.

Your Statement of Results will include:

• Your result - the final grade you obtained for your exam.
• Your overall score - your overall Cambridge English Scale score for the whole exam.
• Your CEFR level - the Common European Framework of Reference level that you achieved.
• Your individual component scores - your Cambridge English Scale score for each of the skills measured by the exam; Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking (and Use of English for some exams). With these individual scores, you easily see how you performed across the exam and which skills you may need to improve on.

Benefits of Cambridge exam results

• Detailed results: candidates receive a score for each skill (Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking) plus Use of English. They also get an overall score for the exam on the Cambridge English Scale.
• Straightforward and consistent: results across our exams will report on the same scale. Scores on the Cambridge English Scale will replace the existing standardised scores and candidate profile.
• Easy to compare performance: the alignment of our exams to the CEFR, to IELTS and to each other is clear. Results on the scale also give a greater insight into candidate progression from one exam to the next.
