Proof of CEFR level B2!

[chinita]

Hi,

I'm looking at coming to the UK in about 2 months to study Enlglish, and am unsure about the CEFR level B2 requirements!

I have studied English for 7/8 years in highschool, but in Chile the highschool diploma just states you've graduated highschool, and doesn't state the grade, length of time studied, or anything else.

Can anyone advise me what the best course of action is?

Thanks!

Can you get a transcript from your school that says what subjects you took and in what years?

chinita, a very good question! Indeed I think yours is the first of probably lots of questions on exactly this subject.

Firstly it is worth having a look at this webpage, and in particular the "conversion chart" towards the bottom of that page.

Indeed it might help you if print out that chart and discuss it with your English teacher. Accordingly to one of those scales, where are you? What level or grade? And can they document that?

My wife lectures at a college here in the UK. They have discussed this issue. They have decided to require an IELTS score of at least 5.5. And they are using the IELTS score because that is commonly understood in the countries that their overseas students tend to come from.
