Results C1 Advanced

C1 Results are reported on the Cambridge English Scale.

You will receive a separate score for each of the four skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) and the use of English, giving you a clear understanding of your performance. These five scores are averaged to give you an overall result for the test. You will also be awarded a grade and level  of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages  (CEFR).

When will I receive my C1 advanced income statement?

All candidates receive a Statement of Results, and if you are successful in the exam, you will also receive a certificate.

Your Results Statement is posted online, approximately four to six weeks after the exam for paper-based exams, and two to three weeks after the exam for computer-based exams. The fastest way to get your results is to sign up for the free online results service.


When will I receive my C1 Advanced certificate?

The certificate is sent to your test center approximately three weeks after the results are available. Your test center then sends it to you.

  • If you took a paper exam, your certificate will be sent to your center seven to nine weeks after your exam date.
  • If you took a computer exam, your certificate will be sent to your center five to six weeks after the exam date.
