If your goal is to pass TEF then I suggest that you find a good teacher who will learn you basics and then work only on TEF preparation with you. When I was passing the exam there was a girl with me with a very basic knowledge but she still managed to pass TEF with good results. Her teacher really worked with her in techniques for successful TEF completion and managed to teach her well.

There are teachers who only do specific exam preparations and they know how to increase your chances. I took one like that for my husband's IELTS preparation and he is really progressing fast.

Just for a bench, I speak French since forever (but I'm pretty bad with school like knowledge) and I had to prepare for 2 full weeks for the exam is it is really specific. There are unfortunately only 2 books for TEF preparation they are really helpful. The process is basically the same as for IELTS preparation and practice makes perfect. :)
Dear Helena

As a native French speaker, I too went for the TEF Canada.
All that has been said so far is true, the test is more difficult than the IELTS/CELPIP.

For example, you loose points if you answer incorrectly to a question (-1pt). You can't simply guess or try your luck if you're not sure, that will cost you.
....
OMG. Will I have to pay higher test fee If my total point is negative?

Hi,

They are on the same site under "outils de preparation" and when you scroll to the end you have "ouvrages de preparation" or something like that and they put both book there http://www.francais.cci-paris-idf.fr/outils-de-preparation-au-tef/.

I'm not quite sure about the difference between TEF and TEF Canada, and in the centre I took the test they didn't know how to explain it properly either. :) I prepared from TEF book and it was enough. I didn't see any difference in the test concept.

I managed to find one book fully online and for the other I have audio files only (I borrowed the book itself from Alliance Francaise in my country). Send me your e-mail address and I can send them to you via we transfer if you want, to save you some time. :)

Hello Helena! Salut!

I am planning to take the TEF to increase my CRS points, I have a Diplôme de Langue from Alliance Française de Bombay but have been practising French very passively. It would be great if you could please email me the preparation materials/books along with any other important information regarding TEF Canada, my email id is apeksha.dhingra@gmail.com. Look forward to hearing from you. Merci! :)

Sent. Just FYI some people are having issues downloading the files from google drive. If more people are unable to download these files then I will stop providing the books.

At this time I cannot reupload them due to time constraints.

Can any of the people who have been able to download the AF books for A1 to C2 provided by DelPiero, upload those on a Google shared drive? The material downloaded from his drive is showing an error and they cannot be unzipped. He is constrained with time, so requesting others who have already received the materials from him to do this please!
