How is the TEF scored?
Objective tasks are marked against the answer key, item by item. The conversion to the exam’s scale uses the published tables where the test owner publishes them and our own documented estimate where it does not. Speaking and writing are scored per component by our own engine, following the exam’s published scoring guide, and mapped onto the scale below.
| Skill | Scale | What is measured |
|---|---|---|
| Each skill | NCLC 1–12 | Reported per skill, read by IRCC as NCLC levels. |
