What the result can—and cannot—mean

The explorer reads a score already on the section scale and returns its CEFR reference. It does not calculate the provider’s weighted average or a global level.

Speaking

Overall official result

Source registry notice

Compass reports separate uncalibrated practice estimates for the three QCM sections. It does not reproduce the provider's weighted QCM average, score Writing or Speaking, or produce a complete global TCF level.

Three interpretation rules

  1. Objective sections can show different language levels.
  2. Provider weighting cannot be reconstructed from a simple average.
  3. No Canadian benchmark belongs on this general-purpose result.
