FCE EXAMINATION
|
Hi there !
I�m preparing my students, on the subject of Listening, so as to take the FCE at the end of this year and I wanted to know what is the pass mark for the Listening paper. I looked for it everywhere and found nothing. If any of you could let me know where can I find it or tell me the pass mark I�d really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance !! |

I know for sure that all papers are equally weighed in FCE FOR SCHOOLS. Each paper gives a maximum of 40 marks to the overall score. Candidates need to get at least 120/200 to pass. It should be the same for regular FCE but I can �t check it right now. You might find the answer here where you can download a very handy teacher�s handbook:

Perma is right, all papers weigh the same in the final mark and there is no pass for an individual paper but an overall score that must be over 60% for a pass. That means a better result in one paper can compensate for a lower mark in another. Moreover, rules have changed a little so that a candidate who scores under 60% will not fail the exam but will be awarded a lower CEF level (B1, for example). |
