Meaningful results

There is no ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ mark for BULATS tests. Scores are reported on a scale of 1 to 100 – you can decide on the level of ability appropriate to your organisation’s requirements.

All BULATS tests are aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) – the international benchmark for describing language ability. This ensures that candidates’ results can be compared with international standards.

Easy-to-understand report format

BULATS results are presented in a clear and easy-to-understand Test Report Form. You can produce reports for individuals or groups, depending on your needs. You can also produce a breakdown of scores by group and level, allowing easy comparison of language ability across your whole organisation.

Can Do statements

BULATS results provide a description of what the candidate can do at their specific language level in each skill (reading, writing, listening and speaking). These functional/situational statements are aligned to the CEFR. For example, in the Reading and Listening test, a candidate receiving a CEFR level of B2 can be expected to:

• understand most reports and non-routine letters, with some dictionary help
• give a clear, systematically developed presentation, with highlighting of significant points, and relevant supporting detail
• write clear, detailed texts on a variety of subjects related to his/her field of interest
• keep up with an animated conversation between native speakers.
