Where candidates get stuck
Nobody has ever corrected my speaking, and the exam costs ₹26,000.
Practise the 12-minute speaking test with an examiner that answers you, then see what to fix, word by word.
I write the tasks but I don't know where I lose points.
Each text is read criterion by criterion, with the sentences to correct and an improved version.
AI chatbots tell me my accent is wrong without saying which word.
We measure your pronunciation with a speech-scoring engine first, so no mistake is invented.
Three steps
A short prompt in the official format. Three sentences, or thirty seconds with your microphone.
Your pronunciation is measured word by word by a speech engine. The examiner explains only what was measured, and corrects your grammar and vocabulary.
An estimated level range on the NCLC scale, and how far you are from NCLC 7 for the French-language Express Entry draws.
Example report
A real report layout, filled in for a fictional candidate preparing the TCF Canada.
Example · fictional candidate
Speaking · TCF Canada · Task 3 (point of view)
B1 · NCLC 6–7 (estimated)
Confidence: medium (one answer)
Je pense que le télétravail est une bonne chose parce que on gagne du temps. Il y a beaucoup des avantages et les gens sont plus productive à la maison, mais il faut une bonne organisation.
Marked words scored under 80/100 for pronunciation.
Before a vowel, « que » becomes « qu' ».
After a quantity word like « beaucoup », use « de », not « des ».
The adjective agrees with « gens »: masculine plural.
Practise elision before vowels and adjective agreement, then repeat task 3 with an example in your second argument.
A CEFR level and an NCLC range on the 4 to 10 scale, with the gap to NCLC 7 and how confident the estimate is.
Your answer as the speech engine heard it. Words scored under 80/100 for pronunciation are marked, so you know exactly which ones to repeat.
Not a list of every slip: the three changes that cost the most points, each with the corrected sentence and the reason.
One concrete next step, so your next practice session starts where you lose points.

No. It is an estimate on the NCLC and CEFR scales, shown as a range. Only an approved test centre delivers an official result.
TCF Canada speaking and writing first, then TEF Canada and the listening and reading tests. The France versions (TCF IRN, TEF IRN) follow.
Recordings are kept for 90 days so you can listen to them again in your report, then deleted automatically. You can delete them earlier from your account.
Never. All prompts are original and written in the official format. Using leaked questions would be unfair to you and illegal.
Both are accepted by IRCC and use the same NCLC scale. Choose by the test centres and dates near you, and by the format you prefer: the TCF Canada has three short speaking tasks, the TEF Canada two longer ones.
