DTZ Result Calculator: A2 or B1?

The DTZ does not report a single overall score, but rather level ratings per section. Enter your levels for Listening/Reading, Writing, and Speaking — the calculator shows which level the certificate will display and which section limits the result.

Listening and Reading (one result)

In the DTZ, Listening and Reading are reported together as one result at a single level.

Writing
Speaking

Speaking is assessed in the oral pair examination and reported separately.

Result

Select a level for all exam sections to see the total result.

How it's calculated

  • Listening and Reading are reported together as one result, Writing and Speaking separately.
  • For B1 on the certificate, B1 in Speaking and B1 in at least one of the written sections (Listening/Reading or Writing) is required.
  • If the B1 combination is not reached, A2 is possible when speaking is at least A2 and either listening/reading or writing is also at least A2.

The calculator works with level ratings, not points: The point thresholds for assigning to A2 or B1 are not published per exam date. Your examination office's result is binding.

Official Sources

The information from the examination office is always binding. This calculator does not replace an official result.
