Identify the purpose of a short text and the details that affect the reader. Look closely at restrictions, dates, exceptions and the difference between something proposed and something confirmed.
Follow how an argument develops, distinguish facts from opinions and work out what the writer implies. An answer may use different words from the passage while keeping the same meaning.

A simple routine, from your first attempt to your next improvement.
Understand what the question asks, then look for the relevant part of the passage. Check the surrounding sentence before deciding.
Watch for answers that borrow words from the text but change who, when or why. Choose the option supported by the passage.
After checking your answer, locate the evidence yourself. Note whether the difficulty was vocabulary, an inference or an overlooked condition.
Read the notice before checking the explanation. What is the deadline for requesting a refund: the original departure time or the replacement train’s departure?
Original practice notice
Votre train de 8 h 15 est supprimé. Votre billet reste valable, sans frais, dans le train de 9 h 10. Si ce nouvel horaire ne vous convient pas, vous pouvez demander un remboursement avant le départ initialement prévu.Original TEF Practice teaching material.
The request must be made before 8:15, the originally scheduled departure. “Avant le départ initialement prévu” sets the deadline. The replacement train leaves at 9:10, but that later time does not extend the refund window.
An answer can repeat words from the passage and still be wrong. Check who a rule applies to, which service changes and whether an exception is stated.
Compréhension écrite has 40 multiple-choice questions and lasts 60 minutes. You can move between questions during the reading test.
You can take fifteen separate reading mocks, each with 40 original questions and a 60-minute limit. The same questions are available individually for focused practice. Review your saved answers and explanations after finishing.
A small practice set cannot predict an official TEF or NCLC result. Use the score calculator to interpret an official TEF score report, rather than a percentage from these exercises.
Work through the questions you can answer, then return to the ones that need more thought. Practise noticing when rereading stops helping so you can keep time for the remaining passages.
