How many marks is the Reading paper worth?
A. Each paper in the CAE exam is worth 40 weighted marks, so that all the papers are of equal importance. The whole exam is worth 200 weighted marks. The weighted mark for the Reading paper is calculated as follows: each correct answer in Parts 1, 2 and 3 is given 2 marks, and in Part 4 1 mark. Therefore, the total number of marks possible for the paper is 53. If a candidate scored 38 marks out of a possible 53, their final weighted mark would be arrived at by the calculation 38รท53×40 = 28.68.
