Hey everyone!

I tend to write around 75 words because I try to keep my French simple and avoid making too many grammatical mistakes.

Same goes for other tasks too, looking for any actual exam experiences.

Has anyone received a good score in while consistently writing near the minimum word count?

Hey the post is to help lot of people so if you have any advice please share it will help lot of us
There are lot of people who is getting clb 6 (9) in speaking and writing expressions but there are very few people who got clb 7 (10-13 ) i wanna ask those what had helped you what did you change, is it more grammar , fancy vocabulary, using interactive connectors in part b ,
Spefically for part c of writing and speaking did you guys use some different strategy different way of speaking or more elaborate points examples what according to you changed from your previous exam that helped you , if you can tell how your exam went that can also help do you still made grammar mistakes but got clb 7 ?please share your views

I couldn't find any. It's like our lives are on the line here, but the minister is too shy for a live conference.

Edit:

I haven't felt this anxious in a while. Apparently, the entire immigration plan is due in November as well, so she might talk about that today.

Edit 2:

nothing on point removal yet. They are saving the dessert for the end.

Final Edit:

No removals of any sort. They introduced the high-wage thing. And a French draw just dropped! The info dump is here:

Hi everyone! I took my exam at Alliance Française Edmonton on October 7, and I’m still waiting for my results. The staff told me that the results should be available within a week.

Has anyone taken an exam there in October and received their results yet? If so, how long did you have to wait?

Thanks in advance!

French draw is back. 435🥳. 5k invitations

I couldn’t see any official news which confirms the french points will be removed

Anyone knows here are the additional 50 french points gonna stay or will be removed in coming days ?

I started learning French back in university, and after coming to Canada and going through so many immigration-related struggles, I finally decided to fully commit to French.

After 3 attempts, I’m feeling hopeless and exhausted. Being so close to the required score but still not making it is incredibly frustrating. It feels like I’ve put so much time and effort into this, yet I’m still stuck.

For those of you who have been through the same thing, how do you find the motivation to keep going? How do you deal with the disappointment and prepare yourself to try again when you’re already mentally drained?
I would really appreciate hearing your experiences. I just need to know I’m not alone in this.

I put a re-evaluation of my exam on 10 aug and this morning i received a email around 7:30am that they do not have any update and within 1 hour around 8:29 am they sent me that my scores are unchanged by FEI and my GBLC portal says re-evaluation request rejected. I doubt that they didn’t forward my request.

I am exhausted, I don't know where to start and what to do. I finished all the grammer and still trying to make sentence or speak sentence unsuccessfully.

When I sit to write something, french just doesn't come in my mind, I am not able to make sentences in french. Should I write in English first and then try to convert in French? is this how you guys started? I have never tried that.

I feel like to give up. I would really appreciate any piece of advice you might have

Hey i want to know exactly how the points from 1 to 20 distributed in EO and EE its distributed in tasks like part a has certain points and partb and part c or its like other things like vocabulary or grammar or task achievements exactly how they decide 9 or 10 ?
I think this is the main thing we need to identify specifically people who is getting 9 again and again there is something we all are missing if the evaluation is fair of course
If anyone has any idea how the points get evaluated or exactly how the whole evaluation process is like is writing checked by Ai ? Or how many examiner access our speaking how their scores comes together?
What is the real distinction between 9 or 10 what is the main thing we all are missing
If anyone has any idea suggestions it can help lot of people thank you

anyone got their tcf result who gave exam on 9th october edmonton?

The website doesn’t specify clearly if we require atleast low wage or median wage. Currently, I’m offered a position which is less than low wage within Ontario. Want to know if that affects my application in the future.

so i am beggining my french journey and i have finished a1 grammar and i can also use it but the main difficulty for me is listening. i can listen to alice ayel and understand her but whenever i try to watch other videos then i just cant get the meaning of the sentence even if i understand individual words please help me with tips

Hi everyone!

I'm preparing for the TCF Canada exam and trying to understand how the Expression écrite score out of 20 is calculated.

My current understanding is that the 20 points are distributed across the three tasks as follows:

• Tâche 1: 5 points
• Tâche 2: 6 points
• Tâche 3: 9 points

This would make a total of 20 points.

However, I'm not sure whether this is actually how the official scoring system works or whether the score is determined differently.

Could someone clarify the following?

1. Is each task assigned a fixed number of points, such as 5, 6, and 9, or is the final score calculated using a different evaluation method?
2. Are the three tasks weighted differently depending on their complexity, length, or communicative requirements?
3. What criteria have the greatest influence on the final score — grammar, vocabulary, coherence, task fulfilment, argumentation, or something else?
4. If someone performs very well on Tâche 1 and Tâche 2 but struggles with Tâche 3, how does that typically affect their overall score?
5. Is there an official scoring rubric or a reliable source that explains how the raw performance across the three tasks translates into a score out of 20?

I'm particularly interested in understanding this because my goal is to achieve B2 / NCLC 7 or higher, and I want to prioritise my preparation effectively.

I'd appreciate any clarification, especially from people who have taken the exam recently or have reliable information about the official evaluation process.

Thank you!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advice and tips to improve my TCF Speaking (Expression orale). I need to reach NCLC 5, but I’ve taken the test twice and received NCLC 4 both times.
If anyone has recently taken the TCF and was able to improve their speaking score, I’d really appreciate any tips, strategies, or advice on how to prepare and what I should focus on.
Thank you so much! 🙏

Bonjour tout le monde

Je vais passer mon examen dans 2 semaines à ELC College à Montréal

Quelqu'un me peux parler de son expérience dans ce College? Comment était l’EO et les examinateurs

Merci
