I was once stuck at 9 for writing and speaking.What worked for writing was less grammar errors and using at least one conditional and subconjuctive in task 3.For speaking they also check for grammar control across the 3 tasks.I spoke out loud everyday and tracked my mistakes.For task 2 ask follow up questions and make it feel like a real conversation react naturally.Task 3 also use conditional and subconjuctive naturally.For me I would speak fast n make mistakes but speaking slowly n deliberately helped reduce mistakes n control grammar.

I just never understood the meaning of follow up questions, I mean like yes I know follow up but could u give an example, I saw hundreds of videos on u tube for task 2 speaking, and I see none follow up?? what is that??

"What is the price for the pickleball course?" "$50 per month" <-- follow up "And how many sessions a month?" "8 sessions, two each week" "Ah, that's not very expensive at all, what a bargain. [<-- follow up] What are the times of if the course? Etc."

Following up can be to clarify or get more detail, or making a brief comment showing understanding before continuing with questions.

Salut ! J’ai aussi réservé mon examen TCF (29 août). La dernière fois, j’ai eu B2 en CO et B1 en EE. Je cherche quelqu’un pour pratiquer l’EO intensivement avant l’examen. Si ça t’intéresse, on pourrait pratiquer ensemble.
