The Cambridge English Scale
From January 2015, a new way of reporting results for our exams is used that will provide you with more detailed information about exam performance – the Cambridge English Scale.
The Cambridge English Scale is a range of scores used for reporting the results of Cambridge English exams. It is built on the existing results reporting and years of research, and is designed to complement the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
The Cambridge English Scale allows for more straightforward results reporting across our exams and better meets the needs of our exam users, including candidates and teachers.
Exam results are or will be reported on the Cambridge English Scale according the following dates:
From January 2015 - B2 First (FCE), B2 First for Schools (FCE S), C1 Advanced (CAE) and C2 Proficiency (CPE)
From February 2016 - A2 Key (KET), A2 Key for Schools (KET S), B1 Preliminary (PET) and B1 Preliminary for Schools (PET S) and Business Certificates (B1 - C1)
Benefits
- More 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.
Comparing scores
There may be times when it is useful to know how a CEFR level score or result from an exam taken before 2015 compares to a Cambridge English Score.
Our score converter tool can help you. Simply select what type of score you’d like to convert from, input the value and the tool will tell you what the equivalent Cambridge English Scale score is. You can also use the tool to convert from scores on the scale back to CEFR Levels or old standardised scores.
