Results and certificates
How do I check my exam result?
- Open the Cambridge website for candidates.
- Register with your ID Number and Secret Number. Both are on your Confirmation of Entry.
- When the result is released, you can see it there and share it with the institution that asks for it.
What the result shows
For exams from A2 Key to C2 Proficiency you receive a score on the Cambridge English Scale for each skill, an overall score, a grade and a CEFR level. The overall score is the average of the scores for the skills; in the exams from B2 First to C2 Proficiency, Use of English counts in the average too.
| Exam | Grade A | Grade B | Grade C | Level below |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A2 Key | 140–150 | 133–139 | 120–132 | 100–119 (A1) |
| B1 Preliminary | 160–170 | 153–159 | 140–152 | 120–139 (A2) |
| B2 First | 180–190 | 173–179 | 160–172 | 140–159 (B1) |
| C1 Advanced | 200–210 | 193–199 | 180–192 | 160–179 (B2) |
| C2 Proficiency | 220–230 | 213–219 | 200–212 | 180–199 (C1) |
Grades A, B and C mean you have passed the exam. Grade A, except at C2 Proficiency, means you showed ability at the level above the exam, and the certificate says so. A score in the “Level below” column brings a certificate for the lower level.
In the exams for children (Starters, Movers, Flyers) there are no scores and no fail: the child receives between one and five shields for each of the three skills.
When the certificate arrives
- The certificate is available three to four weeks after the results are released.
- You collect it from our office in Zagreb or Split. We send it to your home address for a fee of €15.
- If a preparation centre applied for you, you receive the certificate at your school.
How long the certificate is valid
A Cambridge certificate does not expire. Institutions still decide for themselves how old a result they accept, so check with the place where you are submitting the certificate.
How an institution checks a result
Universities and employers check a result with Cambridge's free results verification service. The simplest way is to share the result with them yourself, from the website for candidates.
