Cambridge English Scale
Practice estimates use the Cambridge English Scale band logic: 200+ for C2, 213+ for Grade B and 220+ for Grade A.
Scoring methodology
How C2 scores are estimated
Use our scores as practice feedback: they help you decide what to revise next, while official results always come from Cambridge English.
How does Practice English C2 estimate scores?
Practice English C2 estimates scores from marked practice items and Cambridge English Scale grade boundaries. A C2 pass starts at 200, Grade B at 213 and Grade A at 220. These estimates are for revision planning only; official C2 Proficiency results are issued by Cambridge English.
Paper-level estimates
Use of English, Reading and Listening items can be marked automatically; Writing and Speaking require criteria-based judgement.
Official source checks
Where conversion tables are available, we reference Cambridge practice-test conversion guidance rather than inventing private grade bands.
Transparent limits
Practice scores help you plan revision. They are not official results and cannot replace a Cambridge Statement of Results.
What our score tools can and cannot do
Automatic practice pages are best for objective items: Use of English, Reading and Listening. Writing and Speaking are more nuanced, so feedback should be read alongside the Cambridge assessment criteria: content, communicative achievement, organisation, language, discourse management, pronunciation and interactive communication.
For full-paper planning, use the C2 score calculator. For cross-exam comparisons, use the English exam converter.
