Exam Results

It is important to consider both the level of English needed for your courses or projects and which exam is most suited to your needs. Each of the Cambridge English exams is targeted at a different level of the CEFR, which means they assess a candidate on a wide range of skills and knowledge at that level. The context of questions is also appropriate to the level being assessed, with higher levels having a greater academic focus. As a guide, the following exams are recommended for the different levels of study: Foundation/pre-sessional Cambridge English: First – Targeted at CEFR Level B2 – Reports on the Cambridge English Scale between 122 and 190 Undergraduate & postgraduate Cambridge English: Advanced – Targeted at CEFR Level C1 – Reports on the Cambridge English Scale between 142 and 210 Postgraduate Cambridge English: Proficiency – Targeted at CEFR Level C2 – Reports on the Cambridge English Scale between 162 and 230

The Cambridge English Scale makes it easy to specify the overall score you need and specify minimum scores for the individual skills. You can use the table to the right to ensure that the Cambridge English Scale score you ask for is at the same level as your CEFR requirements.
