When Do You Receive the SIELE Results and How Do they Look Like?

In a maximum time period of three weeks, you can download your certificate or SIELE report from "My Page" on siele.org. When taking the Global SIELE, you receive a certificate of international recognition, which includes a test score related to the levels of CEFR and a numerical score of 0 to 1000 based on the results of the sum obtained in each test. If you do any of the SIELE independent modalities, you receive a report that includes the score obtained in the test or tests carried out and its correspondence with the CEFR levels. In both cases, you will receive a certificate and report with a brief description of what a user of the corresponding level proficiency is capable of performing in the activity of the corresponding language. To facilitate the verification of these results by entities that want to know the level of Spanish of a candidate, a secure verification code is provided and inserted in siele.org, providing the candidate's exam results. The SIELE test score levels and their correlation with the CEFR levels are as follows:
