TEF or TCF, which is easier?

TEF vs. TCF : Comparison

The TEF and TCF exams are broadly similar in terms of difficulty, but there are some notable differences depending on the preferences of each candidate.

Written expression :

TEF: One of the written tasks is to write a short story in the style of a news item, which can be difficult for some because of the particular structure.

TCF: The written tasks are more traditional and involve writing short letters or answering everyday questions, but the limited time for each task can make the section more stressful.

Oral expression :

TEF: The oral section is interactive and structured, with two well-defined parts, which can facilitate preparation.

TCF: The oral section consists of three parts, including a 4.5-minute open discussion. This may seem more difficult if you're not comfortable with free topics.

Listening comprehension :

TEF : You can consult the questions before listening to the audio, which facilitates comprehension.

TCF: Listening is done without prior preparation, which can make this section more difficult.


Reading comprehension:
The reading section is similar, although the TCF consists of shorter articles with a single question per article, while the TEF offers longer texts with varied questions.

Preparation:

TEF: Its clear structure makes preparation easier and more focused, especially for oral and written expression.

TCF: Although perceived as easier, the TCF sometimes lacks a framework, which can make preparation more complex.


Conclusion:

Ultimately, the choice between TEF and TCF depends on your strengths and preparation style. Both exams are valid, and the most important thing is to prepare yourself in a targeted way according to your needs.

TEF or TEFAQ ?

TEF is a general French test, used for such purposes as immigration, studies or citizenship. The TEFAQ, on the other hand, is a simplified version that includes only oral expression and comprehension. It is specially designed for immigration to Quebec, where these skills are particularly tested. If you are planning to immigrate to Quebec, the TEFAQ may be sufficient to obtain the necessary points for immigration, depending on the criteria of the immigration program.
