sushdmehta, thank you but could you tell me what A1 would equate to as an IELTS score? Would that be 3, 4?

I've looked here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Eur ... _Languages and it just says breakthrough level?

I am finding the scoring very difficult to figure out. I think I read that 3.5 is adequate on IELTS. However, it states that for TOEFL the required score is 87 (this being level B2). On speaking to a friend who deals with recruitment at a university she said they ask for a grade of 87 for Master's students. Therefore this seems unlikely to equate to Level A1 on the CEFR. Does anyone have any advice on this?
