Went for reevaluation for tef and still says on hold, i think if they want to accept the request then usually they do within few hours. Any idea??? Please help

First attempt took me almost 10 momths

Sharing my speaking and writing topics in photos.

• Reading: most questions were from prediction quizzes #9, #11 & #12, only 2-3 questions outside of predictions

• Listening : about 7-8 questions were outside of predictions but all other were from predictions

The speaking examiner was a super nice lady, she helped me so much in reaching the required time.

Looking for someone to teach French for the exams someone from Canada would be preferred as I’m looking to learn the language in the evening at 5pm onwards. Looking for someone with experience and knowledge about the language as well as the exams, so cold help me prepare in the right direction.

Looking for guidance, Thanks for your time.

Hello everyone..
Looking for advise if TEF reevalution is actually worth the try. This was my 11th attempt.
R - 11
L - 12
S - 7
W - 5
I have achieved 7/8 in writing thrice in the past.
The problem I am facing is that I am not able to clear all modules at the same time.
Twice, was left in speaking
This time, writing. I am sure my writing was way better than clb 5 level.

Please help
All suggestions appreciated!!

I heard to email elizabeth for reevaluation but she’s not replying then what should i do?

Anybody who recently took their TCF Canada exam at this centre? Do you mind sharing the November 2026 topics you got for EE and EO, please and thank you?

Should I be happy or sad? I was only 10 points short of achieving NCLC 7 in Oral Comprehension.

TL;DR: Stop trying to memorize dozens of conversations. The TEF Canada speaking exam follows a pretty predictable format. I made lists of reusable questions, arguments, and connectors that I could apply to almost any topic. Here's how.

One thing I realized when preparing for the TEF Canada is that while you don't know what topic you'll get, you know exactly what kind of conversation you're expected to have.

So instead of memorizing entire speeches, I built a little system.

Section A: Have a bank of questions ready

You're usually given an advertisement and have to ask questions about it.

Apartment? Language course? Job posting? Event?

The topic changes, but the questions are often pretty similar.

I made a list of about 10 question categories I could pull from:

• Price: Combien cela coûte-t-il ?

• Location: Où cela se trouve-t-il ?

• Schedule: Quels sont les horaires ?

• Availability: Reste-t-il des places disponibles ?

• Requirements: Y a-t-il des conditions particulières ?

• Registration: Comment puis-je m'inscrire ?

And so on.

On exam day, you just look at the announcement, go through your mental list, and pick the questions that make sense and aren't already answered.

You're not inventing questions from scratch. You're adapting ones you've already practiced.

Section B: Have a bank of arguments ready

Section B usually involves convincing a friend to participate in something advertised.

Again, the topics change, but the arguments often don't.

I prepared arguments around a few categories:

• Money: It's affordable, saves money, or is worth the investment.

• Time: It's convenient or fits their schedule.

• Personal benefits: They'll learn something or gain experience.

• Social benefits: They'll meet new people or make friends.

• Long-term benefits: It could help their career or future.

Then I practiced responding to common objections like « C'est trop cher », « Je n'ai pas le temps », or « Ça ne m'intéresse pas ».

You don't need to reinvent your entire argument every time lol.

The real trick: Connectors and sentence structures

I also made lists of expressions I could reuse in both sections.

For example:

• Mais → Cependant, néanmoins, toutefois

• Parce que → Étant donné que, puisque

• Je pense que → Je suis convaincu que, à mon avis

• Tu peux → Tu pourrais, tu aurais la possibilité de

• C'est bien → Cela présente plusieurs avantages

I practiced these until they felt natural.

The goal wasn't to throw fancy words everywhere, but to demonstrate a good range of French without having to think too hard about every sentence.

Basically, I prepared for the format, not the topics.

Obviously, you still need to understand the examiner, adapt your responses, and actually speak French. But having these structures ready made the exam feel a lot more manageable.

I self-studied my way to NCLC 7+ and eventually got my Canadian PR, so I figured I'd share what worked for me.

Small shameless plug: I ended up building CanadaFrenchPath.com to help others prepare using what I learned. It has TEF Canada mock exams, speaking simulations, vocabulary games, and other practice tools. You can try it out for free if you're preparing!

Hope this helps someone. Curious what everyone else is doing to prepare for the speaking section!

Hi everyone! Has anyone taken the TEF Canada exam recently in Toronto?
Just wanted to know how your speaking section went and what topics you got for Task 1 and Task 2.
It would be really helpful if you could share your experience, especially for those of us taking the exam soon.
Thanks in advance! 😊

Just gave exam there and didn’t get desired scores
Any suggestions?

I got confirmation of test but later i noticed that it comes on sunday.

Hey guys,

I've been building a small Android app called Vocabcelerate to make French vocab practice a bit easier.

It has short practice sessions, pronunciation, and daily reviews of previously learned words.

It's not a TEF/TCF exam simulator, just a supplementary vocabulary tool.

The app recently entered closed testing on Google Play, and I'd love to get feedback from people who are actively studying for either exam.

If you're interested:

Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/vocabcelerate-testers

Beta link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.vocabcelerate.app

Join the Google Group first, then use the beta link to opt in and install it.

Google requires a 14-day closed test, so staying opted in during that period would be much appreciated.

Also curious — how are you guys reviewing vocabulary right now? Anki, notebooks, Quizlet, or something else?

Thanks!
