8. CEFR LEVEL ALLOCATIONS
REPRESENTING OVERALL
L2 ENGLISH ABILITY
The overall CEFR level provides a summary of the candidate’s L2 English language ability. This level
is only awarded if a candidate completes all four skills components. In order to calculate this overall
level, information about the performance in each of the four skill areas is essential. If overall CEFR
levels were to be calculated from different skills combinations, i.e. from a 3-skills or 2-skills package,
then comparability would not be maintained across different testing occasions and between
candidates. The overall CEFR allocation is calculated as a rounded average of the four CEFR
levels achieved in each of the skill areas. This is shown in Table 3.
