MARKING AND ISSUE OF RESULTS

All completed exam papers are returned to Cambridge for marking. The examiners are English-teaching specialists with relevant experience at the appropriate level. Examiners are trained, their work is continuously monitored and checked by highly experienced senior examiners as they work.

There are five possible grades for CAE: A, B and C are 'pass' grades; D and E are 'fail' grades. The grade is based on your total score in all the papers. Eight weeks after the exam, you will receive a Statement of Results giving the overall grade and including a graphical display of your performance in each component. These are shown against the scale Exceptional - Good - Borderline - Weak.

Certificates are issued if you are successful approximately four months after the exam.
