Read the CEFR report

When a candidate finishes, FluencyScreen scores the transcript against the CEFR scale and produces a structured report. Here's how to read it.

1

Open the session

From Exam links, click a completed candidate to open their session. You'll see the report at the top and the full transcript below, with a play button on each of the candidate's answers.

A candidate's CEFR report
The estimated level, per-skill scores, and recommendation.
2

The estimated level

The headline is the CEFR level — from A1 (beginner) to C2 (mastery) — with a confidence indicator. It's the single number most recruiters care about.

CEFR in one line:A1–A2 = basic, B1–B2 = independent (most hiring bars sit here), C1–C2 = proficient. B2 roughly means “can hold a fluent work conversation without strain.”
3

Per-skill scores

Below the level, each answer is scored 1–10 across six skills:

  • Grammar & Vocabulary — accuracy and range.
  • Fluency & Coherence — flow and how well ideas connect.
  • Comprehension & Task completion — did they understand and actually answer.
4

Strengths, weaknesses & examples

The report lists concrete strengths and weaknesses, plus quoted examples from the transcript with suggestions — useful evidence to share with the hiring team.

5

The recommendation

Finally, a short recommendation summarizes whether the candidate's spoken English fits a role at that level. Pair it with the recording — you can replay any answer to hear it yourself.

The assessment is generated from the transcript, so it judges grammar, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension — not accent. Treat it as a strong first screen, not the final word.
