Cambridge exams
General: A2 Key
How will I get my results?
All candidates receive a Statement of Results, and if you are successful in the exam you will also receive a certificate.
A2 Key results are reported on the Cambridge English Scale.
You will receive a separate score for each of the three papers (Reading and Writing, Listening, and Speaking), giving you a clear understanding of your performance. These three scores are averaged to give you an overall result for the exam. You will also be given a grade and Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) level.
When will I get my A2 Key Statement of Results?
Your Statement of Results is released online, approximately four to six weeks after the exam.
When and how will I get my A2 Key certificate?
We will receive your certificate about seven to nine weeks after the date of your exam. You can either collect your certificate from the exam centre or the exam centre will send it to you.
A2 Key Scale Scores
For A2 Key, the scores on the right will be used to report results.
The exam is targeted at Level A2 of the CEFR. The examination also provides reliable assessment at the level above A2 (Level B1) and the level below (Level A1).
Scores between 100 and 119 are also reported on your Statement of Results, but you will not receive a Key English Test certificate.
The relationship between the CEFR levels, the Cambridge English Scale and the grades awarded in A2 Key is illustrated.
