BULATS discontinued from end 2019

Results

You receive BULATS results instantly for the Reading and Listening module. With a computer generated Test Report Form there is with no waiting for certificates or other documents. Your agent will let you know when you will receive your results for the Speaking and Writing modules.

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.

BULATS score Level description CEFR level
90–100 Upper advanced C2
75–89 Advanced C1
60–74 Upper intermediate B2
40–59 Intermediate B1
20–39 Elementary A2
10–19 Beginner A1

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.
