The CEFR Spanish Levels

CEFR levels A1 to C2

Your result is given as a CEFR level. The CEFR, or Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, is the international standard for describing language ability. It was developed by the Council of Europe and is used worldwide to compare language skills fairly. It defines six levels, grouped into three bands: basic users (A1 and A2), independent users (B1 and B2), and proficient users (C1 and C2). The table below explains what each level means in practice.
