Dear friends,

We have prepared a set of three answers to the same CAE – Part 1 Essay question in order to illustrate the difference between a low performance (50%-55% = 165 in the new scale), an average performance (65%-70%= 185 in the new scale) and a high performance (over 75%= 205 in the new scale).

We have used the new Cambridge Marking Scale ranging from 160 to 230.
