What marks are given to different papers?
Each paper is equally weighted at 40 marks. The candidate's aggregate score for all of the papers is then used in awarding a grade.
This information is included in the FCE, CAE and CPE handbooks.
If papers have more than 40 available marks, how is a candidate's total out of 40 calculated?
For each of the papers, the mark awarded to the candidate is weighted to a mark out of 40 in this way:
Candidate's score x 40 ÷ maximum number of possible marks.
This gives each paper in the examination equal importance. The weighted marks for each paper are then added together to give an aggregate score, and it is this score on which the grade is based.
