Understanding test scores of the English Language Skills is very simple, and may be correlated to the Department of State scoring template of the English language, as depicted below in the Evaluation of English Language Skills. Level 1 (Rudimentary Knowledge) would correlate to an evaluation percentage of 0% to 25%, little or no knowledge. Similarly, for Levels 2-5, evaluation of tests leads to a score percentage that correlates to the candidate’s level of knowledge of the English language.
