Your resultsIf you are successful in the exam you will receive two documents: a
Statement of Results and a
certificate. Universities, employers and other organisations you apply to may ask you for either of these documents as proof of your English language skills.
'Statement of Results'
Your Statement of Results contains the following information:
 | - Your score on the Cambridge English Scale for each of the four skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking)
- Your score on the Cambridge English Scale for the overall exam
- Your grade (A, B, C, Level A1) for the overall exam
- Your CEFR level for the overall exam. Depending on which university, college or organisation you are applying to, you may be asked to achieve a specific score or grade, either overall or for a particular skill.
|
For A2 Key, the following scores will be used to report results:
Cambridge English Scale Score
| Grade
| CEFR level
| 140-150
| A
| B1
| 133-139 | B
| A2
| 120-132 | C
| A2
| 100-119 | Level A1
| A1
|
|
 | The exam is targeted at Level A2 of the CEFR. The examination also
provides reliable assessment at the level above (Level B1) and the
level below (Level A1).
Scores between 100 and 119 are also reported for A2 Key. You will not receive a certificate for the Key English Test, but your Cambridge English Scale score will be shown on your Statement of Results.
Please click on the image to the left of this text to find out the relationship between the CEFR levels, the Cambridge English Scale and the grades awarded in A2 Key.

Your certificateIf a candidate demonstrates that he/she has achieved level A1 or above of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), one of the following certificates will be awarded:

|
B1 Key Exceptional candidates sometimes show ability beyond A2 level. If you achieve an 'A' in your exam, you will receive
the Key certificate stating that you demonstrated ability at Level B1. |
A2 Key If you achieve a 'B' or 'C' in your exam, you will be awarded the A2 Key certificate at Level A2. |
Level A1 Certificate If your performance is below Level A2, but falls within Level A1, we will recognise your achievement with a Cambridge English certificate stating that you demonstrated ability at A1 level.

Results Verification Service |
 If you want a university, employer or other organisation to verify your
result, you must provide them with the information on your Statement of
Results and two additional pieces of information: 1.- Your ID Number (a sequence of nine letters and numbers). 2.- Your Secret Number (a four-digit number). Both of these pieces of information can be found on your Confirmation of
Entry, which you receive when you register for the exam. They can then
verify your result by logging in to verificationservice.cambridgeenglish.org |
