Setting English Language Requirements for the Euroexams

Reporting Results - The Euroexam Certificate

All Euroexam tests consist of four papers. Scores for each of the four papers (Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking) are reported separately on all Euroexam certificates along with the final overall score. Scores for each paper as well as the overall exam score are expressed as a percentage (see The Euroexam Certificate) thereby providing HEIs a transparent metric by which to set their English Language Requirements for the Euroexams.
