Corresponding levels

These correspondences are approximate. Many are based on mere claims by the examining bodies

Most examination bodies now attempt to align their tests or scores to the Common European Framework. It should be realised that this is an inexact science and all attempts at correspondence are approximate only.

The following table shows the CEF levels with corresponding levels for the most common tests and examinations.
