test

My score explained
Candidates are graded on their performance in the test according to the grading
criteria as well as the percentage they receive in each section. Each section of
the test has a different pass criteria and rate according to the standards required
for that their rank/role in the merchant navy. The results from the five sections
then produce an overall grade and percentage which is equivalent to levels based
on the CEFR (Common European Framework of References for Languages).
The grading/marking system is fair and consistent. It has been approved by a number
of accrediting and awarding bodies including Edexcel. It is expected that candidates
who successfully pass the test will receive an Edexcel certificate. This certificate
will then be considered valid proof of candidates’ language abilities and will be
seen as a necessary vocational qualification. All test takers and/or their institutions
will be issued with the Test Report Form which clearly summaries the test results.
