What is CEFR?
At EnglishScore we use the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). CEFR is an international standard used to measure language proficiency.
Using a 6-point scale it identifies an individual’s English level, with A1 being the score for beginners and C2 for those who have mastered English. This framework is often used to help businesses and education institutions gain an understanding of the English level of their workforce or student population.
For a detailed explanation of how EnglishScore relates to the CEFR scale, read our report here.
What is an EnglishScore?
To help you gain a deeper understanding of your English level, we have created a points-based system that offers greater insight into where you score on the CEFR scale. The EnglishScore ranges from 0-599 and assesses your grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening skills.
Understanding CEFR scoring and EnglishScore
Our EnglishScore scale aligns to levels A1-C1 on the CEFR with each one hundred point range correlating to a CEFR level.
