What is a CEFR compliant AI-evaluation for English Speaking and Writing question type?
CEFR Levels
The Common European
Framework of Reference (CEFR) for Languages is a standardized grading system
designed to assess language proficiency. Using the CEFR guidelines,
iMocha generates a composite score that reflects the candidate’s speaking and
writing skills. The assessment levels are Pre A1, A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2.
Note: iMocha provides the CEFR grading system for
speaking and writing only.

iMocha has two CEFR Compliant AI-evaluation question types:
- AI-evaluation: Speaking

Note: The weightage for speaking and writing when CEFR is enabled is set as default. For the standard question types or other technical tests that include some writing and speaking questions, the weightage is customizable. However, for the standard AI-EnglishPro test covering the Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing (LSRW) sections, the weightage is fixed and cannot be modified.
