1. Why CEFR?
CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) is the international six-band standard (A1 through C2). TOEIC, TOEFL iBT, IELTS, OPIc, and TOPIK all publish official or semi-official CEFR mappings — using CEFR as the pivot lets us translate any score into a reasonable range on any other exam.
2. Per-exam input tips
- TOEIC (L+R) — 10 to 990. Enter the combined Listening + Reading total.
- TOEFL iBT — 0 to 120. The four-section total.
- IELTS Academic — 0.0 to 9.0 in 0.5 band increments.
- OPIc — Pick an ACTFL rating from NL (lowest) up to AH (highest).
- TOPIK I — 0 to 200. Beginner certificate (Levels 1–2).
- TOPIK II — 0 to 300. Intermediate–advanced (Levels 3–6). Level 5 = 190+, Level 6 = 230+.
3. Reading the results
We map the score to a 0–10 CEFR sub-index and then reverse-interpolate to every other exam's curve. A ±1 sub-level uncertainty band (low / mid / high) is shown to emphasize that cross-exam conversion is a range, not a single point.
4. Career / admission threshold matrix
The matrix lists representative thresholds for Korean conglomerates (Samsung, Hyundai, LG, SK), Korean civil service grade 7, typical US/UK grad school admission, and Korean university admission for foreign students. Real cutoffs vary by year, role, and program — always verify the official posting before applying.
5. Shareable URL
Exam + score are encoded in the URL query string, so sharing the link alone opens the exact same conversion. Handy for group chats, study communities, and admission forums.
