Results for exams taken before February 2016

A2 Key gives detailed, meaningful results. You will receive a Statement of Results. If your performance ranges between CEFR Levels B1 and A1, you will also receive a certificate.

Diagram of where A2 Key is aligned on the CEFR

What is a Statement of Results?

This document shows:

  • your candidate result, based on your total score in all three papers
  • a graphical display of your performance in each paper (shown against the scale Exceptional – Good – Borderline – Weak)
  • a standardised score out of 100, so you can see exactly how you performed. It has set values for each grade, allowing comparison across sessions of the exam.

Find out how to understand your A2 Key Statement of Results.

What is on my certificate?

Certificates are normally sent to exam centres within three months of the exam. Please contact your centre if you need to know the specific date. Your certificate can be awarded at different levels, depending on your achievement.

A2 Key – Level B1
Pass with Distinction
Exceptional candidates sometimes show ability beyond Level A2. If you achieve a Pass with Distinction, you will receive the Key English Test certificate stating that you demonstrated ability at Level B1.

A2 Key – Level A2
Pass with Merit, Pass
If you achieve a Pass or Pass with Merit in your exam, you will be awarded the Key English Test certificate at Level A2. Reaching this level is an important step in learning to use English to communicate in real-life situations and gives you an internationally accepted certificate.

Level A1 certificate
We believe it is important to recognise your achievement, even if you do not reach Level A2. If your performance is below Level A2, but falls within Level A1, you will receive a Cambridge English certificate stating that you demonstrated ability at Level A1.
