Mock tests
TEF Canada mock tests — timed, exam-style, auto-scored
39 full-length mock tests that reproduce real exam conditions: official timing, once-only audio in exam mode, instant scoring, and an estimated CLB / NCLC level after every attempt.
What a mock test includes
- Real format — 40 questions per reading/listening test, the same question styles as the official exam, all in French.
- Real timing — a 60-minute countdown for reading and 50 minutes for listening, with auto-submit when time runs out.
- Exam mode — audio plays once, no rewind, so listening feels exactly like test day. Practice mode lets you replay freely.
- Instant results — raw score, estimated CLB/NCLC band, and a full review with correct answers, explanations, and transcriptions.
- Progress tracking — resume mid-test, see best and average scores per module, and watch your level trend upward.
Why timed mocks are the fastest way to improve
Most candidates don't fail TEF Canada on knowledge — they fail on time pressure and unfamiliar question patterns. Timed mock tests fix both: you learn the pacing (90 seconds per reading question), you meet every question type before exam day, and the review shows exactly which text types and skills cost you points. Two or three mocks per week, with a careful review of every mistake, is the single highest-return habit in TEF preparation.
Pair the mocks with the study plan and check your progress against the CLB calculator to know when you're ready to book the real exam.

Frequently asked questions
How long is a TEF Canada mock test here?
Reading mocks are 40 questions in 60 minutes, matching the official exam. Listening mocks use the official-style 40-question format with a continuous audio recording and a 50-minute session timer.
Can I pause or replay the audio?
In practice mode, yes — replay and rewind freely. In exam mode the audio plays once with no rewind, exactly like the real test, so you can rehearse true exam conditions.
How is my mock test scored?
Automatically, the moment you submit. You get your raw score, a question-by-question review with the correct answers and explanations or transcriptions, and an approximate CLB/NCLC band based on IRCC's score ranges.
How many mock tests are included?
39 full mock tests — 19 reading and 20 listening — plus 145 timed writing prompts and 159 speaking topics. The first test of every module is free.
Can I retake a mock test?
Yes, as many times as you like. Your progress is saved mid-test too, so you can resume where you stopped.
