TEF Canada study plan — 4, 8, or 12 weeks

Best for: You're already B2+ and need exam readiness, not more French.

1. Week 1 — Diagnose: one free mock per module. Identify your weakest skill and your pacing problems. Start a mistake log.
2. Week 2 — Exam-condition drills: 3 timed mocks (weakest skill ×2), one timed writing task and one recorded speaking topic every other day.
3. Week 3 — Full simulation week: reading + listening mocks back-to-back in exam mode, Section A + B writing in one 60-minute sitting, speaking with the official prep-timer only.
4. Week 4 — Polish: re-do your worst mock, review your entire mistake log, drill connectors and question forms, then rest two days before the exam.

Best for: Solid B1–B2. The most common track to CLB 7.

1. Weeks 1–2 — Diagnose + foundations: one mock per module, then daily 30-minute drills on your two weakest skills. Learn the writing templates (fait divers, argumentative) and speaking task structures.
2. Weeks 3–4 — Volume: 2–3 mocks per week, one writing task and one recorded speaking topic per day, alternating sections. Review every answer — the review screen is where the learning happens.
3. Weeks 5–6 — Exam conditions: switch listening to exam mode (once-only audio). Write both sections in a single timed sitting. Track your estimated CLB band per skill weekly.
4. Weeks 7–8 — Consolidate: repeat your three worst mocks, close out the mistake log, simulate one full four-skill exam day, then taper.

Best for: Starting from B1 (or rusty). Builds language and exam skill together.

1. Weeks 1–3 — Base: daily French input (podcasts, articles) + one mock per week to learn the format. Focus vocabulary on exam themes: services, housing, work, environment.
2. Weeks 4–6 — Structure: master the writing templates and speaking frameworks. Two mocks per week; start the mistake log and review it every Sunday.
3. Weeks 7–9 — Volume + conditions: three mocks per week, exam mode for listening, timed writing sittings, recorded speaking with model-answer comparison.
4. Weeks 10–12 — Exam readiness: full simulations, target-band verification with the CLB calculator, final review of connectors, question forms, and your logged mistakes.

• Mon–Fri: one focused session — a timed drill, half a mock, a writing task, or a recorded speaking topic.
• Saturday: one full timed mock in your weakest skill, then a complete review of every mistake.
• Sunday: mistake-log review + check your estimated CLB band with the calculator. Adjust next week's focus.
