Question 1

Why are Speaking & Writing always the latest exam sets?

Accepted Answer

Speaking and Writing use a monthly-rotation system — when new exam-style sets arrive each month, they automatically become Set 1, and older sets shift to Set 2, 3, and so on. So "Speaking Set 1" on the home page is always the latest month, with no manual switching needed. Reading and Listening use a curated fixed bank of exam-level practice questions, each with tri-lingual deep analysis (EN/FR/ZH).

Question 2

Are these official exam questions, close to the actual test?

Accepted Answer

These are all practice questions, not official exam questions; but vocabulary, question types, and scoring align with TCF Canada standards (A1–C2). 206 complete sets (46 reading, 49 listening, 58 writing, and 53 speaking) are enough to master the exam rhythm.

Question 3

How can I quickly find out my current TCF level?

Accepted Answer

Take the 60-second adaptive quiz on the homepage — 10 questions across reading and listening, no login needed. You instantly get a CEFR estimate (A1–C1) plus an NCLC band, and the scores are saved so the NCLC calculator and practice modules pre-fill with your level.

Question 4

How much is Pro, and which payment methods?

Accepted Answer

One-time purchase, no auto-renewal: $29.9 (30 days) / $49.9 (90 days) / $69.9 (180 days) / $99.9 (360 days). We accept credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard), Apple Pay, and Google Pay — plus WeChat Pay for buyers in mainland China and Hong Kong. Access activates instantly after payment.

Question 5

Do I keep my data after Pro expires?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You revert to the free plan, but all your practice history, saved mistakes, and progress are kept permanently. Renewal days stack on any remaining time.

Question 6

How does speaking practice work, and do samples use the free sessions?

Accepted Answer

Tasks 1 and 2 are a live conversation with an AI examiner. Task 3 is recorded and scored. Sample answers, audio, and PDF are free to view. Viewing a sample does not use the 6 free live sessions and is not minute-metered. Prepare my answers stays free.

Question 7

How do I know what to study next?

Accepted Answer

Start with the 60-second diagnostic — your CEFR level seeds the practice modules and the "by-difficulty" drill page (A1–C1) so you can target your weakest skill first. Wrong answers feed your Review list; finish a set to unlock detailed AI analysis on every question.

Question 8

Can I redo my saved mistakes?

Accepted Answer

Wrong answers are automatically added to Review, where you can filter by module (reading/listening), difficulty, or tag, and redo them anytime with full AI analysis. Completed sets are also replayable from the "Practice History" page.

Question 9

Does my progress auto-save and sync across devices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When signed in, your progress, saved mistakes, and history sync to the cloud in real time — switch phones or browsers and you can continue right where you left off. Even when signed out, progress is cached locally and automatically merged into your account on next sign-in.

Question 10

How do I practice writing, and what feedback does the AI correction give?

Accepted Answer

Our writing section covers all 3 TCF Canada tasks: Tâche 1 (60–120 words, everyday email/message), Tâche 2 (120–150 words, review/article), and Tâche 3 (120–180 words, text comparing two viewpoints). After you submit, the AI scores your work and gives sentence-level feedback across grammar, spelling, vocabulary, logic, and structure, with errors highlighted, correction suggestions, and a polished model version. New users get 6 free writing corrections; Pro users enjoy unlimited corrections.

Question 11

How can I drill a specific difficulty level?

Accepted Answer

Use Drill mode (Practice by Difficulty) — pick a module (reading or listening), pick A1, A2, B1, B2, or C1, choose 10/20/30 questions, and the AI samples randomly from the matching pool. Wrong answers go straight to Review to revisit and redo anytime.

Question 12

What is TCF Canada, and how is it different from regular TCF?

Accepted Answer

TCF Canada is a standardized French test designed specifically for Canadian immigration applicants and recognized by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Unlike the regular TCF, it tests all four skills — listening, reading, writing, and speaking — and the results are used for Express Entry, provincial nominee programs, and other immigration streams.

Question 13

What are the TCF Canada test sections, and how is the score calculated?

Accepted Answer

TCF Canada has four mandatory sections: Listening Comprehension (35 min, 39 questions), Reading Comprehension (60 min, 39 questions), Written Expression (60 min, 3 tasks), and Oral Expression (12 min, 3 tasks). For immigration, your final language level is the lowest of the four individual scores, so every section must meet the requirement.

Question 14

How do I convert TCF Canada scores to NCLC or CLB?

Accepted Answer

Your TCF Canada score report shows raw scores and CEFR levels. For immigration, you convert them to NCLC for French or CLB for English. For example, Listening 458+, Reading 453+, and Speaking/Writing 10+ usually equal NCLC 7. Use the NCLC calculator on our homepage for an instant conversion.

Question 15

What TCF Canada score do I need for Canadian immigration?

Accepted Answer

There is no single pass mark; it depends on the program. Express Entry French-language draws typically require NCLC 7 in all four skills, while some provincial nominee programs accept NCLC 4–5. Because your score is based on your lowest section, you cannot compensate a weak skill with a strong one.

Question 16

How much does the TCF Canada exam cost?

Accepted Answer

Fees vary by test centre but are generally around CAD $390–$400. Registration is usually non-refundable and non-transferable. Contact your local France Éducation international accredited centre for the latest price.

Question 17

How long is the TCF Canada result valid?

Accepted Answer

TCF Canada results are valid for 2 years from the date the results are issued. Your scores must still be valid both when you submit your Express Entry profile and when you receive your Invitation to Apply (ITA).

Question 18

How long does it take to prepare for TCF Canada?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your starting level and target score. From zero to NCLC 7 the timeline varies widely — by native language, starting level and weekly hours; learners already at B1 are usually on a much shorter path. We recommend one listening or reading set plus one speaking or writing task daily, with a weekly review of your mistake book.
