How does a GCSE in a foreign language rank on the CEFR?

DD1 has been ranked as B2 in her school in France for French language. How would this compare with a GCSE? Could I put her in for a GCSE and be reasonably confident that she would pass it?

B2 is technically A-level but be wary of varying reliability of tests. She should definitely be fine with GCSE though, which is more like A2 or B1 at a stretch.

The exam boards have previous papers on their websites, you can print them out. You could find one (make sure it is higher level) and ask her to do it.
