What is the Cambridge Statement of Results?

The Statement of Results is not a certificate and may not be accepted as final proof by all employers, universities, or regulators. Always confirm the exact evidence required by the organisation you are applying to.

What the Statement of Results includes

The Statement of Results provides:

• Your name and candidate details
• The name of the Cambridge English Qualification
• Your overall score on the Cambridge English Scale
• Scores for each exam component (such as Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking, and Use of English, depending on the test)
• Your CEFR level (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages)
• The grade achieved (if applicable)
• The date of the exam

It does not include a photograph or security features found on the final certificate. It is not a substitute for the paper certificate issued later.

How to access your Statement of Results

You can access your Statement of Results online through the Cambridge Results Service. You will need your Candidate ID and Secret Number, which are provided by your exam centre. For more on logging in, see Cambridge Results Service Login: ID and Secret Number.

When to use the Statement of Results

Scenario: Using the Statement of Results for university application

A candidate completes a Cambridge English Qualification in 2026 and receives their Statement of Results online.

Later, when the paper certificate arrives, the candidate provides the official document to meet the university's final requirements.
