Comparing Cambridge English Qualifications to other exams
support.cambridgeenglish.org › hc › en-gbThe CEFR describes language ability on a scale of six levels, from A1 for beginners, up to C2 for those who have mastered a language. Cambridge English Qualifications are aligned to this scale, so candidates who pass them can say that they have demonstrated that their ability in English is at the level of the grade they obtained – if you have a C grade in B2: First (formerly Cambridge English: First- FCE), for example, you have demonstrated that your English use is at B2 level.
