The LanguageCert Global Scale

The LanguageCert Global Scale reports scores on a 0-100 scale to give test takers, employers, education institutions and government agencies an easy-to-understand results system. It applies across all the tests in the LanguageCert System. The Global Scale enables the definition of specific levels of attainment needed to fulfil certain requirements. For example, entrance into a university or for migration and employment purposes. The levels of attainment can relate to overall performance in an examination, performance by skill (e.g., speaking), or both these parameters.

LanguageCert’s General and Academic tests measure all four skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Both report performance across the range of CEFR levels and score against the LanguageCert Global Scale (from 0 to 100).

LanguageCert Academic and LanguageCert General are directly calibrated to the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference produced by the Council of Europe. The LanguageCert Global Scale links to the CEFR levels. This means that performance on LanguageCert tests is directly comparable to exams by other English language testing organisations. The Global Scale reports against the CEFR levels as shown in the following table.

LanguageCert Global Scale	CEFR	LanguageCert General	LanguageCert Academic
90 - 100	C2		90 +
75 - 89	C1	78 +
60 - 74	B2
40 - 59	B1		40
20 - 39	A2	25
10 - 19	A1
0 - 09	Pre A1
