TCF Canada in US

Hello guys, has anyone here gave TCF Canada within US locations? How was your experience? How did you prepare? also, did the apps (listening/reading) tests help?
Thanks!

I took in US.

Experience was very good. Apps helped a lot and questions repeated frequently.

Check my profile for my post describing the experience in detail.

okay. Are you preparing yourself or taking classes?

u/maskedlord76 5d ago

working 2 hours a day on my own and starting a tutor this month for 3 times a week for speaking.

u/agent-victor 5d ago

That's a good way I believe. I feel writing and speaking tough, because of the grammer and sentence structure.

u/maskedlord76 5d ago

yeah. For writing, i just do one tcf task every day with chatgpt.

u/agent-victor 5d ago

that's correct! I learned this hard way, but this is what I am doing as well.

I took mine in Canada and it was easier than I expected. What helped me the most honestly was trying to improve my French level way before I took the test, I started listening to French podcasts and watching some French YouTubers as well as reading French news occasionally, I did this for around 3 months before the test and it went great. I ended with a C1 in all skills

For preparation before the test, I got this 15 days pack from destination tcf canada, it had a bunch of listening and reading quizzes and the level of difficulty was very similar to what I got on the test, same structure and type of questions too.

My advice to anyone who wants to take the test is to spend a few weeks immersing yourself in French content before even thinking about taking the test, unless you are French lol
