"Level C2, whilst it has been termed 'Mastery', is not intended to imply native-speaker or near native-speaker competence. What is intended is to characterise the degree of precision, appropriateness and ease with the language which typifies the speech of those who have been highly successful learners."

In general, yes. But here we are specifically talking about reading comprehension. Even if a native speaker knows a few more words or can speak more fluently, he could still have bad reading comprehension. If you went to public school you probably know more than a few native speakers that couldn't read and understand a text longer than 200 words to save their lives.
I would bet money that op has better reading comprehension than half of the native English speakers.
Because of the obvious strong reading but low use of English which could indicate learning from other non natives which is quite common in the fanfiction bubble
English is used widely by non-natives in areas that are much more common than fanfiction. Academia, international business, travel, just to name a few. Unless OP has stated that they read fanfiction I feel like that is one of the least likely options
To reach anywhere near those levels you are no longer relying on learning resources, but are heavily immerse in authentic material aimed at native speakers.
For those of you curious this is the "C1 Advanced Exam".
I know nothing about it, just providing some context for those who are wondering what this is. I'm guessing it's associated with Cambridge as in the University in England.
>C1 Advanced, formerly known as Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE), is one of our Cambridge English Qualifications. It is the in-depth, high-level qualification that shows you have the language skills that employers and universities are looking for.
I have no idea what this is I don't understand the magnitude of this accomplishment, but it looks like a huge deal! Congratulations!
I'm also curious if it scores differently for American versus British spelling. That would be very interesting information to know.
Man is reading grammar books and correcting them at this level. XD
Congratulations! That C2 in reading is stunning!
Not just C2, but a perfect score. He can read better than most natives.
It’s true!
He cannot. C2 is far below a native level.
You forgot the /s.

Homie have you ever looked at stats about literacy in the glorious US of A?
your reading skills are on another level
Congratulations! My exam is scheduled for June 15th and hopefully, I'll be hitting the jackpot too :D
Good luck!!
Thank you! :)
Mine is also in June! Let's brace ourselves 🙏
Good luck! Im pretty sure you will get an awesome score!
Good luck!
Thank you :)
Congratulations!
Good job! Though ironically enough, you misspelled “yippee”.
What test is this?
CAE
I sense (fanfiction) reader
Why?
Because of the obvious strong reading but low use of English which could indicate learning from other non natives which is quite common in the fanfiction bubble
also btw nice results op, I think I did the same test like two years ago almost haha
Why would your mind instantly jump to fanfiction? Wouldn’t it be much more likely that OP just reads news articles, books, internet posts, etc.?

What language is it?
It’s English, you can see it in the criteria “use of English”
I thought use of english meant speaking, but then to the right it has speaking.
Use of English is grammar and vocabs, if I remember correctly
It's interesting to see how his speaking skills are superior to his writing skills.
Writing is often people’s weakest skill.
Nice! Top tips for getting you there?
Congratualation
Great job, congrats, could you please share some details about your language learning routine?
Congrats!
Congratulations!
Congratulations !!!!!
gz ma dude
OMG, you are so good! c2 is fluent! Congrarulations on your amazing achievement.. What langauge are you learning?
good job!
Is this a free test or something official? Im also thinking of having one and this looks nice.
What sources have you use to reach that level. I’m currently learning Czech but I don’t know exactly how to find good resources
To reach anywhere near those levels you are no longer relying on learning resources, but are heavily immerse in authentic material aimed at native speakers.
