Defining the level of fluency of a language, whether its English or not, can be tricky. It can be preferable to avoid broad and ambiguous terms such as \u201cbeginner\u201d, \u201cintermediate\u201d and \u201cadvanced\u201d. The <strong>CEFR <\/strong>or the Common European Framework of Reference for languages was created because there was an obvious need for more <strong>reliable indicators <\/strong>and especially for a <strong>standardized scale defining language fluency<\/strong>. If you\u2019re looking to study abroad, the <strong>CEFR test <\/strong>is what universities in mainland Europe use to measure your language proficiency. But how does it work exactly? <strong> CEFR<\/strong> describes language ability on a six-point scale, from A1 for beginners, up to C2 for those who have mastered a language. Here is a graph that will hopefully make this clearer for you:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-72519 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cefr-scale-1-e1640703733317.png\" alt=\"cefr language levels scale\" width=\"699\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cefr-scale-1-e1640703733317-200x147.png 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cefr-scale-1-e1640703733317-300x220.png 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cefr-scale-1-e1640703733317-400x294.png 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cefr-scale-1-e1640703733317-600x440.png 600w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cefr-scale-1-e1640703733317.png 699w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The CEFR is used for other tests in Europe as well.

Your <strong>IELTS Band score<\/strong> is based on the average score secured in four components.

You will find below detailed score comparisons to help you interpret it.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>CEFR A1 &amp; A2<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a id=\"post-72516-_6ac41bsr3o8f\"><\/a><strong>CEFR<\/strong> A1 or A2 is equivalent to an <strong>IELTS <\/strong>score between 0 and 4. It means that you have a \u201cbasic user\u201d level and that <strong>you have limited efficiency in using English in your daily life.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>CEFR B1<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong> CEFR<\/strong> B1 is equivalent to an <strong>IELTS <\/strong>score between 4 and 5. It means that you fall in the \u201cindependent user\u201d category. It is considered <strong>sufficient for interactions with English speakers on familiar topics<\/strong>. You\u2019ll need to work a bit harder to improve your scores if you want to get admitted to a university abroad.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>CEFR B2<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a id=\"post-72516-_mmesuvfhi855\"><\/a><strong>CEFR <\/strong>B2 is equivalent to an <strong>IELTS<\/strong> score between 5.5 and 6.5. You are considered an \u201cIndependent user\u201d as well. It means that <strong>you can communicate easily and spontaneously in a clear and detailed manner. You are able to understand and be understood in most situations.<\/strong> With this score, you have a chance of getting admitted to certain top universities.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>CEFR C1<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>CEFR<\/strong> C1 is equivalent to an <strong>IELTS<\/strong> score between 7 and 8. It means that you are a \u201cproficient user\u201d who <strong>can understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognize implicit meaning<\/strong>. From this score, you have high chances of getting admitted to certain top universities.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>CEFR C2<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>CEFR<\/strong> C2 is equivalent to an <strong>IELTS<\/strong> score between 8,5 and 9. You are considered as a \u201cproficient user\u201d and it means that you have <strong>a fully operational command of English and that you are likely to get admitted to top universities.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>Notes on overlapping<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As you may have noticed, some <strong>IELTS<\/strong> scores may overlap on two scores of the <strong>CEFR chart<\/strong>. If you take a closer look at the chart above, you can notice that 6.5 is borderline B2 and C1. The first thing that you should know is that the interpretation of the score depends on the degree of certainty expected and varies across universities. This means that some applicants with a band of 6.5 may be at C1 fluency while others can be slightly below that. So if a university wants a high degree of certainty, it might map C1 to a band of 7 instead of 6.5. Before taking the <strong>IELTS test<\/strong>, it could therefore be interesting for you to double-check the language requirements of the university you\u2019re looking to get into.<\/p>\n<p>Check out our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/how-to-send-ielts-scores-to-us-universities\/\">how to send your IELTS score to US Universities<\/a> if you wish to do so after understanding how they work.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p>Here are some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Q : Is this conversion chart official?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>A:\u00a0<\/strong>If you are wondering if the conversion chart is official, the answer is yes. <strong>CEFR<\/strong> is a standard for describing language ability used in Europe. The scale now helps <strong>IELTS<\/strong> teachers, examiners and students to compare language skills and scores from tests and qualifications. However, as mentioned before, the interpretation of the scores can vary from an institution to another.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Q: How can I convert my CEFR to IELTS?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> You can convert your <strong>CEFR<\/strong> scores into<strong> IELTS<\/strong> scores using the conversion chart provided above in this article. You\u2019ll notice that an <strong>IELTS band score of 7.0 is equivalent to a CEFR level of C1<\/strong>, and that an IELTS band score of 4.5 is equivalent to a CEFR level of B1.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Q: What CEFR level is considered fluent?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> You are considered fluent when you reach a <strong>CEFR C2<\/strong>. To be considered C2 without any ambiguity, you need <strong>a minimum band score of 8.5 at your IELTS test<\/strong>. An 8 band can be interpreted as borderline, and some universities can consider that either C1 or C2.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Q:\u00a0Is CEFR accepted in Canada?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> The <strong>CEFR test<\/strong> is what <strong>European institutions<\/strong> use to measure your language proficiency. Canada asks for an <strong>IELTS <\/strong>score (you&rsquo;ll then need to <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/ielts-score-to-clb-levels\/\">convert your IELTS score to CLB<\/a>), not a <strong>CEFR <\/strong>score.\u00a0You need a certain <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/ielts-in-canadian-universities\/\">IELTS score for enrolling in Canadian Universities<\/a>. You\u2019ll therefore have to take the <strong>IELTS<\/strong> rather than the <strong>CEFR<\/strong>.
