CAE Exam grade calculation
Hi everyone,
I've been looking at sample tests for the CAE Exam.
Does anyone know how to actually calculate CAE Exam grades?
According to the following page,
http://www.cambridgeesol.org/about_us/faqs/ums_gen_faqs.htm#6
grades are calculated using this formula: Candidate's score x 40 ÷ maximum number of possible marks.
Does "maximum number of possible marks" mean the maximum number of possible marks on each paper?
Since the maximum number of possible marks on the writing section is Band 0 - Band 5, how would I calculate the score in that case?
I'd be grateful if someone who has experience with CAE courses could help me figure out the calculation process, thank you in advance,

- Part 4: each correct answer receives 2 marks.

- (45 points/50)*40=36 Listening - each correct answer carries one mark, so just sum up your marks (let's say you have achieved 37) Speaking - another paper where a teacher should assess you After you finish a CAE test (Papers 1, 3 and 4), you can calculate your percentage at these papers.

Here is the process for every paper:
Reading (34 questions) - Part 1, 2, 3 and 4: (questions 1-19) each correct answer receives 2 marks ,Part 2 (questions 20-34): each answer receives 1 mark
- sum up your points and then divide by 50(=maximum number of possible marks), then multiply by 40
e.g.

I suppose that there are a few mistakes. The former concerns reading. Why should I divide by 50? In reading there are 53 marks. The latter is associated with Use fo English there is also 50?

Hi, there!
Here`s my reasoning : since there are 5 Papers in CAE, and each weighs 20% of the final mark , and to get
A you need to do 80%and above
B 75-79%
C 60-74%
it means that you should do, out of the 20% for each pape
