    The Assessment Scales

    The B1 Assessment Scales are divided into six bands from 0 to 5, with 0 being the lowest and 5 the
    highest. Descriptors for each criterion are provided for bands 1, 3 and 5 and indicate what a candidate is
    expected to demonstrate at each band. The descriptors for band 3 and above generally indicate
    performance of at least B1 level.

    As you look through the scales, it may help to highlight words which make one band different from
    another.
    For example, under the Language subscale, the descriptor at Band 1 (below B1 level) for grammar –
    Uses simple grammatical forms with some degree of control – is described in similar language to the
    Band 3 descriptor (B1 level), but with key differences. Uses simple grammatical forms with a good degree
    of control. So at B1 level, simple forms are expected, used with a good degree of control. At Band 5 (B2
    level), a writer Uses a range of simple and some complex grammatical forms with a good degree of
    control.
