The Cambridge English Scale

From January 2015, Cambridge English will start using a new way of reporting results for our exams 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 our 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, teachers, universities and immigration departments. 
Exam results will be reported on the Cambridge English Scale for sessions held after the following dates:
From January 2015 – Cambridge English: First, First for Schools, Advanced and Proficiency
From August 2015 – Cambridge English: Key, Key for Schools, Preliminary and Preliminary for Schools
From September 2015 – Cambridge English: Business Certificates
