Scoring System

LanguageCert uses a CEFR-aligned score scale (A1 to C2), allowing test takers to understand exactly where they stand in global English proficiency terms:

  • A1/A2: Basic user
  • B1/B2: Independent user
  • C1/C2: Proficient user

Institutions and visa authorities often specify the minimum level required for admission, employment, or immigration, and LanguageCert scores map directly to these standards.

At Band Booster, our LanguageCert preparation programs are tailored to each exam type, helping students improve accuracy, fluency, and confidence in all tested skills. Whether you’re preparing for general English qualification, speaking proficiency, or visa-approved SEL tests, we provide comprehensive training aligned with official LanguageCert standards.
