Questions about the free TEF Canada practice test
Is the TEF Canada practice test really free?
Yes. Mock 1 in reading, listening and writing, the placement test, 12 sample questions and 15 course lessons cost nothing. Premium is only for the other 14 mock sets, full four-skill sittings, unlimited writing feedback and more speaking practice.
Do I need an account to take the free test?
No. You can take the placement test and see its result as a guest, and you can answer every question in the free mocks. Create a free account to see your mock score and review your answers. Signing up doesn't ask for a payment card.
Is this the official TEF Canada test?
No. The CCI Paris Île-de-France runs TEF Canada and publishes its own sample papers. Our questions are original, modelled on those official samples and written with TEF Canada tutors, and each mock follows the real format and timing.
Will the free mock give me an NCLC level?
The placement test gives a rough NCLC range for reading and listening. The reading and listening mocks give a score out of 40 with an explanation for each question, and our benchmarks show how other learners scored on the same paper. None of these is an official TEF or NCLC result.
Can I practise TEF speaking for free?
Once. A free account includes one five-minute Section A conversation with a live AI examiner, followed by feedback. Other speaking topics and the speaking mocks are part of Premium.
