You have to get at least 60% to pass. I got the equivalent of a C ---ok, maybe D+ on the speaking, but I'll take it. 100-90=very good 89-80=good...
Actually just got the results from my C2 exam, way better than I thought, although of course I did fail the writing part (no surprise there):...

I'm looking forward to that! :) This is definitely only the tip of the iceberg as far as aspect goes...
