The Cambridge English Scale

From January 2015, Cambridge English started using a new way of reporting results for their exams that provide 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 the Cambridge English exams. It is designed to complement the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and allows for more straightforward results reporting across the Cambridge English exams and better meets the needs of all exam users, including candidates, teachers, universities and immigration departments.

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.

For further information, please visit the Cambridge English website.
