If you are preparing for a Fall exam to secure your CLB 7 (NCLC 7), you cannot rely on outdated materials from 2023.

How to use this TEF practice test

1. Commit to the time: Carve out a solid 3-hour block to simulate the exhaustion of the real exam.
2. Obey the word limits: When writing your essays, make sure you write at least 80 words for Section A and 200 words for Section B.
3. Guess aggressively: There is no negative marking on the modern TEF digital format. If you don't know the answer to a reading question, guess and move on!
4. Self-correct: Use the provided answer key to find your weaknesses. Are you struggling with vocabulary or time management?

Why practice with a full TEF mock exam?

Many students are shocked by how fast the 60 minutes of the Reading section go by. If you spend 3 minutes on a single question, you will fail to finish the exam. A full mock test forces you to practice the art of "letting go"—guessing an answer and moving to the next one to ensure you finish the test on time.

Practice the TEF online with PrepMyFrench

Practicing with a PDF is a great first step, but it lacks the interactivity of the real TEF Canada exam.

To experience the true computer-based format, you need the PrepMyFrench simulator. We offer timed, digital mock exams, automated word counters for your writing, and an AI-powered Speaking Examiner that will actively argue with you during your Section B roleplay practice.
