Each module of TKT is free-standing and there is no aggregate score.
Results are issued in the form of certificates as TKT is not a pass/fail examination. Candidates receive a certificate for each module they take.
Each question carries one mark so the maximum mark for each module is 80. Candidate performance is reported using four bands:
Band |
A candidate at this level demonstrates |
1 |
limited knowledge of TKT content areas |
2 |
basic, but systematic knowledge of TKT content areas |
3 |
breadth and depth of knowledge of TKT content areas |
4 |
extensive knowledge of TKT content areas |
Cambridge ESOL's trialling research indicates that for a candidate to achieve TKT Band 3, a score of at least 45–50 marks (out of 80) is required.
Further guidance on the interpretation of results will be issued on the Cambridge ESOL TKT Website.
Certificates are despatched to candidates approximately 20 days after the test session by registered mail or courier to the address given on the application form. Results are not given over the phone or sent by e-mail or fax.
