Grading
Grading took place during July 2001 (approximately six weeks after the examinations ).
The five CAE papers total 200 marks, after weighting. Papers 1–5 are each weighted
to 40 marks.
The overall grades (A, B, C, D, and E) are set using the following information:
statistics on the candidature;
statistics on the overall candidate performance;
statistics on individual items, for those parts of the examination for which this is
appropriate (Papers 1, 3 and 4);
the advice of the Principal Examiners based on the performance of candidates, and
on the recommendation of examiners where this is relevant (Paper 2);
comparison with statistics from previous years’ examination performance and
candidature.
Results are reported as three passing grades (A, B and C) and two failing grades (D
and E).
Result slips are issued through Centres approximately two months after the
examination has been taken.
It is important to note that candidates do not ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ in a particular paper or
component, but rather in the examination as a whole. A candidate’s overall CAE grade
is based on the aggregate score gained by the candidate across all five papers.
Every candidate is provided with a Statement of Results, which includes a graphical
display of the candidate’s performance in each component. These are shown against
the scale Exceptional – Good – Borderline – Weak and indicate the candidate’s
relative performance in each paper.
Certificates are issued about six weeks after the issue of statements of results.
Requests for a check on results may be made through Centres, within one month of
the issue of results slips.
Awards
The EFL Awards Committee and the EFL Malpractice Committee meet after the grade
boundaries have been confirmed. They deal with all cases presented for special
consideration e.g., temporary handicap, unsatisfactory examination conditions,
suspected collusion, etc. These committees can decide to ask for scripts to be
remarked, to check results, to change grades, to withhold results, etc. Withheld results
may be due to suspected infringement of regulations or results which need further
investigation.
The reports on individual papers which follow are intended to provide a general view of
how candidates performed on each paper and to offer guidance on the preparation of
candidates.
