Make your next attempt count

A mock test is most useful when you leave time to review it. Use your results to choose a specific task to practise next.

Practise individual TEF questions
  1. Practise with the clock

    Choose a skill or a complete exam. Work through the timed sections; answers save as you go. The timer keeps running if you leave or refresh.

  2. Understand the result

    Check reading and listening explanations. Use AI writing feedback and feedback on your speaking conversation to identify one area to work on.

  3. Try a fresh set

    Practise the weak task type, then test the same skill again. Compare your pacing and mistakes instead of relying on a memorised answer.

Questions about TEF Canada mock exams

Can I take a TEF Canada mock test online for free?

Yes. The first reading, listening and writing mock exams are free. A free account also includes one AI writing assessment and one five-minute Section A speaking conversation. The short placement test is available without an account. Complete four-skill mocks and full speaking mocks require Premium; live speaking uses speaking credits.

What does Premium add to the practice tests?

Premium unlocks all 15 mock sets in each of the four skills, complete four-skill exams, all speaking topics and unlimited AI writing feedback. Live speaking conversations use speaking credits. Check the pricing page for the speaking time included in each plan.

How long does a complete TEF Canada mock exam take?

The timed sections add up to 2 hours 55 minutes: reading takes 60 minutes, listening 40, writing 60 and speaking 15. Allow extra time afterwards to review your answers and feedback. You can also practise each skill separately.

Do the mock tests include answers and feedback?

Reading and listening reviews include correct answers and explanations; listening also has transcripts. Writing assessments and live speaking feedback help you identify areas to improve. Free accounts include one writing assessment and one five-minute speaking trial; further access depends on your plan and speaking credits.

Are these official TEF Canada questions?

No. These are original practice materials built around the documented TEF Canada format. TEF Canada is administered by CCI Paris Île-de-France. Our mock results and AI feedback are preparation tools, not official scores or a guarantee of your exam result.

What is the difference between a placement test and a mock exam?

The placement test takes about 30 minutes and uses 15 reading and listening questions to estimate a rough NCLC range. A mock exam rehearses a complete skill under its exam time limit. Full reading and listening mocks each contain 40 questions; the complete mock includes writing and speaking too.

Will my practice result tell me my official TEF or NCLC score?

No. Correct-answer totals and AI feedback help you review your performance, but they do not reproduce the official scoring process. Only an approved TEF test centre can issue your official result. Use the TEF score chart to understand how official results relate to NCLC levels.

How should I use mock exams to prepare for TEF Canada?

Take one timed mock to find the tasks that slow you down. Review the explanations or feedback, practise that task type separately, then try a fresh set. Keep a record of repeated mistakes and time spent. Use the course for a structured method when you need more support before another full attempt.
