The Cambridge English Scale

From January 2015,  a new way of reporting results for Cambridge exams has been implemented. This is called the Cambridge English Scale, and it is a range of scores used for reporting the results of Cambridge English exams. The Cambridge English Scale is designed to complement the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).This new system provides candidates with more detailed information about exam performance.
