What is inside

• The official task formats, as published by France Éducation international: three speaking tasks (directed interview, interaction, point of view) and three writing tasks (60–120, 120–150 and 120–180 words).
• A timing guide for the 12-minute speaking test and the 60-minute writing test.
• 42 original practice prompts (24 speaking, 18 writing). They are not exam questions: real TCF subjects are confidential.
• The IRCC score-to-NCLC table and two self-assessment grids from NCLC 4 to NCLC 9+.
• A progress log and a 4-week plan.

Why NCLC 7 matters

For Express Entry, NCLC 7 or higher in all four French abilities earns additional points (25 or 50 depending on your English), and French-language category draws require at least NCLC 7 in all four abilities. In speaking and writing, NCLC 7 means a score of 10 or 11 out of 20. Sources: IRCC language test equivalencies, CRS criteria.
