90%+
agreement with TEF teachers on CEFR level
Our scoring is trained and back-tested on official samples, with 90%+ agreement with TEF teachers on CEFR level.
Built and checked with real TEF teachers
Our questions are written by models trained on many past official TEF Canada samples, then tested with teachers so they read and time like the real exam.
Most other TEF prep sites don't have a live AI examiner for the speaking section, and their questions, scoring and feedback aren't as close to the real exam.
