How the A2 Key (KET) score is calculated

Each paper (Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking) is converted separately to the Cambridge English Scale. Your overall score is the average of all of them, and they all count the same. That overall score decides your grade and the CEFR level on your certificate.

Frequently asked questions

What score do you need to pass A2 Key (KET)?

An average of 120 or more on the Cambridge English Scale. From 120 to 132 is Grade C and from 133 to 139, Grade B: with either you get the A2 Key (KET) certificate at level A2. From 140 it is Grade A: the same certificate, at level B1.

Can you fail one paper and still pass A2 Key (KET)?

Yes. There is no minimum score per paper: what counts is the average of all of them. A weak paper is made up for by the others.
