Understand Cambridge exam scores using clear conversion tools. Review grades, CEFR levels, and performance bands. Use examples, charts, and exports for smarter preparation today.
Use the shared Cambridge English Scale to compare one exam result with another. Add an expected improvement to model future readiness.
The graph compares source thresholds, target thresholds, your current score, and the projected score after the selected gain mode.
These examples show how the converter interprets one exam score against another exam context.
| Source Exam | Score | Source CEFR | Target Exam | Projected Score | Projected Band | Projected Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A2 Key | 136 | A2 | B1 Preliminary | 140 | Grade C | Pass |
| B1 Preliminary | 158 | B1 | B2 First | 163.25 | Grade C | Pass |
| B2 First | 172 | B2 | C1 Advanced | 180 | Grade C | Pass |
| C1 Advanced | 194 | C1 | C2 Proficiency | 201.5 | Grade C | Pass |
| C2 Proficiency | 214 | C2 | C2 Proficiency | 217 | Grade B | Pass |
The calculator uses the shared Cambridge English Scale as the base score. One reported score can therefore be interpreted against more than one exam scale.
Exam position formula: ((score − exam minimum) ÷ (exam maximum − exam minimum)) × 100
Target gap formula: max(0, target pass threshold − current or projected score)
Readiness index formula: ((projected score − target pass threshold) ÷ (target maximum − target pass threshold)) × 100
It interprets one Cambridge English Scale score across supported Cambridge exams. The score stays on the same shared scale, but the grade, pass status, and reportable band can change by exam.
No. It is a planning and interpretation tool. Official results, certificates, and admissions decisions should always come from the official exam report and the institution reviewing your score.
Each exam uses its own reporting range and grade boundaries. A score that is strong on one exam may sit below the pass threshold on a higher-level exam, even though the underlying scale is shared.
Projection mode scales your expected improvement. Conservative mode reduces the gain, standard mode keeps it unchanged, and ambitious mode increases it for scenario planning.
Yes. The form accepts decimal values. That helps when you want to test practice averages or interim tracking points before your next official exam.
Target gap shows how many points you still need to reach the target exam pass threshold. If it becomes zero, your current or projected score has reached at least the pass line.
That happens when your score falls below the target exam minimum or above its usual reporting ceiling. The converter still gives context, but that exam may not normally report that score band.
Yes. After you calculate, use the CSV or PDF buttons to export the result summary. This is useful for study plans, tutoring records, and application preparation notes.
