A Brief Overview

Trinity’s Integrated Skills in English (ISE) examinations assess all four language skills — reading, writing, speaking and listening — interacting with each other as they do in the real world.

The are  five different levels
  • ISE 0 is at level A2, the second stage of the Basic User level of the CEFR
  • ISE I is at level B1, the first stage of the Independent User level of the CEFR
  • ISE II is at level B2, the second stage of the Independent User level of the CEFR
  • ISE III is at level C1, the first stage of the Proficient User level of the CEFR
  • ISE IV is at level C2, the second stage of the Proficient User level of the CEFR.

There are 3 components (click on the image to have a larger view):
The percentages for each component (for ISEI and ISEII) are as follows (click on the image to have a larger view):



The examiner assesses the candidate’s performance by selecting one of four levels of performance and
awards a letter grade, A, B, C or D. In simple terms, these levels can be classified as follows:
A — Distinction (reflects an excellent performance)
B — Merit (reflects a good performance)
C — Pass (reflects a satisfactory performance)
D — Fail (reflects an unsatisfactory performance).
