In the liveexams, each of the skills and Use of English are equally weighted, anda candidate’s overall score is calculated by adding all of the individualscores together and dividing by five (and then rounding to the nearestwhole number).For B1 Preliminary, B1 Preliminary for Schools and B1 BusinessPreliminary, B2 Business Vantage and C1 Business Higher, candidatesreceive an individual score for the four skills – reading, writing, listeningand speaking. In the live exams, each skill is equally weighted, and acandidate’s overall score is calculated by adding all of the individualscores together and dividing by four (and then rounding to the nearestwhole number).For A2 Key and A2 Key for Schools, candidates receive an individualscore for each paper in the exam – Reading and Writing, Listening, andSpeaking. In the live exams, the Reading and Writing paper tests twoskills so the score is doubled. A candidate’s overall score is calculatedby adding all of the individual scores together and dividing by four (andthen rounding to the nearest whole number).A candidate’s grade and Common European Framework of Reference(CEFR) level are based on their performance across the wholequalification, and there is no requirement to achieve a minimum scorein each paper.The following tables can be used as guidance to help you convertpractice test scores to Cambridge English Scale scores.Please note that these only apply when using official CambridgeEnglish practice tests.The conversion tables are intended to help you provide anindication of your students’ readiness to take the relevantqualification. The scores you provide may not always reflect theresults the students may achieve in a Cambridge English live exam.They should not be used to try to predict precise scores in thelive exam, but can be a useful diagnostic tool, indicating areas ofrelative strength and weakness.The scores needed on any given exam to achieve the scores on theCambridge English Scale shown in the tables below will vary due toa number of factors, so scores close to CEFR boundaries need to bereviewed carefully. We recommend that this is approximately threeCambridge English Scale score points above and below the scoreneeded to achieve the level, e.g. 157–163 for Level B2. Students whoachieve only slightly higher than the Cambridge English Scale score fora given level on a practice test may not achieve that level in the liveexam, and we recommend that they continue working to improve sothat they reach the desired level.Copyright UCLES 2019 CER/4240/V2/AUG19
