The C1 assessment scales are divided into six bands from 0–5, 0=the lowest & 5 = the highest. Descriptors for each criterion are provided for Bands 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and indicate what a candidate is expected to demonstrate at each band. The Band 2 descriptor indicates a performance which contains features of Bands 1 and 3, whilst Band 4 indicates features of Bands 3 and 5. The descriptors for Band 3 and above generally indicate performance of at least C1 level, whereas Bands 1 and 2 indicate that the performance does not meet C1 level, but is, in fact, still at B2 level. Minimum score to pass 12 points.
