• your candidates’ Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) Level for each skill tested – the CEFR is the international benchmark for describing language ability – which means you can compare Linguaskill results to international standards
• an average Cambridge English Scale score and associated CEFR level, if more than one skill has been taken
• an explanation of what each score means in terms of English language ability – you can see where test takers have performed well, and where they can improve
• whether the candidate took the Business or General test.
  

You can also produce reports for individuals or groups, depending on your needs. You can produce a breakdown of scores by group and level, allowing easy comparison of ability across your whole organisation.
