TEF :(

[DelPiero07]

Good luck to you!

I have lived in France for three years and have been learning French for a couple of years prior to that and all I scored was CLB 7 in Listening and Reading, CLB 8 in Writing, and CLB 10 in Speaking.

I really disliked TEF. Make sure you are aware of the structure of the exam and are familiar with the type of exercises. Unfortunately I was not because I thought it would be the same as TCF.

Thanks!

No worries, I have both books recommended for TEF preparation. I actually feel so confident because i'm so familiar with the structure at this point.

Cheers

I started from scratch a year ago, i'm actually quite confident i'll get at least CLB 7/8 in all sections.

Time to prove that hard work pays off

Gd luck bro,do you have any sources for level a1 please

 

[DelPiero07]

I took french lessons from the start so I don't really have any online sources.

You can try duolingo, it's free and decent for beginners.

I'm French and even though I had good score to the TEF, I found it much difficult than the IELTS.

I'm French and found particularly harder than the IELTS as well.
The verbal comprehension would be particularly hard for a non French speaker.

When I have ielts in india, I had headphones. When I gave ielts in London, there was a loudspeaker. Depends on the test centre.

For TEF, they use computers to fill in answers so I had headphones there (at least in the test center I went). For IELTS, there was just loudspeaker (and not very strong one), so I guess people sitting in the back had rather difficult task for that.

I did not find listening to be that difficult. But be ready to have some Canadian accents there. Then again I do not remember that they would use local specific words in any part of test. So Paris French should be ok.

I took the IELTS in a big classroom too. We were about 30 in the room and I was sitting all the way in the back.
There were probably +100 people taking the IELTS for Canada that day. Some of them took the test more than 3 times to score high

For the TEF, I was the only one taking the test lol
They left me in the room by myself during the entire time with no proctor.
The TEF was the least organized and supervised exam I've had.
