The Cambridge English Scale explained
www.cambridgeenglish.orgAligning Cambridge English exams
to international standardsCambridge English exams are aligned to the Common
European Framework of Reference for Languages
(Council of Europe 2001) - the international standard in measuring language ability.Our exams are known around the world for giving
objective and reliable evidence of English language ability. Extensive research and validation ensures that each exam and each grade represent the same level of English, no matter where or when the exams are taken.What is the Cambridge English
Scale?
The Cambridge English Scale is a range of scores used to report results for Cambridge English exams. It was introduced in January 2015. It is a refinement of our existing approach to score reporting and provides a clearer and more consistent way of describing candidate performance in CambridgeEnglish exams.
The Cambridge English Scale covers a wide range of language proficiency and is aligned to the CommonEuropean Framework of Reference (CEFR).
In all exams, other than
Cambridge English: Key
and Key for Schools candidates receive a Cambridge English Scale score for each skill - Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. Where tested, they also get a separate score for Use of English.Cambridge English: Key
andKey for
Schools
candidates receive a score for each paper. The overall score is calculated by averaging the individual scores a candidate receives. InCambridge English: Key
andKey for School
s, the score for the Reading and Writing paper is doubled to account for the double weighting of this paper. Cambridge English Scale scores replace the standardised score and candidate profile used for exams taken before 2015.The candidate's Statement of Results shows:
an overall Cambridge English Scale scoreCambridge English Scale scores for each skill
(Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking) and Use of English where tested a grade a CEFR level.What are the benefits of using
the Cambridge English Scale? The Cambridge English Scale provides clearer and more detailed information than was previously available, showing where the candidate's performance falls within each CEFR level and grade. This gives candidates and their teachers better information about their performance and helps them to identify areas for improvement. The same scale is used across our exams, so it is also easier to understand the relationship between them. For the many candidates who take two or more of our exams in succession this will be particularly useful, as they will clearly be able to understand how their level of English is improving from one exam to the next.The Cambridge English Scale gives more detailed
information for organisations that use our exams, such as universities, employers, professional bodies and immigration authorities. This will help them to make decisions about individual candidates, particularly in cases where the organisation wants to focus on specific language skills. Because the scores are reported on the same reference scale, it is possible for organisations to state a requirement for a particular overall score, plus minimum scores for Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking and Use of English.Which exams use the Cambridge

are mapped to the Cambridge English Scale.How do the scores work?
The Cambridge English Scale is aligned to the CEFR, and each of our exams covers a particular section of the scale.
This means that a particular score on the Cambridge English Scale represents the same level of language proficiency,
no matter which exam is taken.For example, scores between 180 and 199 cover CEFR Level C1. Candidates at the lowest end of C1 would receive a
score of 180. They would achieve this score whether they tookCambridge English: First
