What is Ukiset?

UKiset Report
UKiset exam results are issued in two report formats. The first is a parent report and the other is a school report.
The Parent Report
The parent report can let parents know the overall English ability and reasoning ability of their children. The report shows whether the candidate's ability is above, equal to or below average. The report will also list the English proficiency level of the candidate at the time of taking the UKiset to the level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
The School Report
The School Report will only be provided directly to schools by UKiset. Parents will not receive this report. The School Report is more detailed than The Parent Report. The content includes information such as the candidate's answering ability of each part of the test and the prediction of the candidate's future public exam results.
