Frequently asked questions

Is C2 truly native level?+

C2 is functionally near-native for comprehension. Output (writing, speaking) usually still betrays a non-native speaker even at C2.

How does C2 compare to China's TEM-8?+

TEM-8 (英语专业八级), the top English-major exam in China, targets 13,000+ words — approaching the C2 vocabulary benchmark. As with the other comparisons here, this is approximate, not an official equivalence.
