What is CEFR and how is IELTS score calculated in CLB?

[shilpa.attavar]

Hi,

I have received my Test Report Form from IELTS IDP. I have received an overall band score of 7.0 (L 7.5, R 7.5, W 7, S 6) and the CEFR Level - C1.

I am not able to understand what is CEFR Level?

Also what will my IELTS score be equal to the CLB?

Regards,
Shilpa

Your scores will get you a CLB 7.

As far as I know, CEFR is not really relevant for immigration points. See this link if you want to know more about CEFR levels http://www.ielts.org/researchers/common_european_framework.aspx
