Where can I find a free, official TCF Canada practice test?
Checked November 1, 2026
France Éducation international (FEI) publishes free sample listening and reading questions, plus a writing paper and a speaking paper that apply to TCF Canada. It also recommends TV5Monde and RFI for practice. There is no free official mock test that gives a score out of 699.
FEI’s free material
On the Exemples d’épreuves du TCF page you will find the following.
| Material | For TCF Canada |
|---|---|
| Examples 1 to 7, listening, with a check button | Yes, same type of question |
| Examples 8 to 10, language structures | No, TCF Canada has no such test |
| Examples 11 to 14, reading | Yes |
| Writing paper “TCF tout public, Québec et Canada” (PDF) | Yes, all 3 tasks with the official instructions |
| Speaking paper “TCF tout public, Québec et Canada” (PDF) | Yes, all 3 tasks and typical topics |
These are samples, not a full test. TCF Canada has 39 questions in each comprehension test, in 35 minutes for listening and 60 for reading. Keep that pace when you practise elsewhere.
Sites FEI recommends
- TV5Monde, Apprendre le français, for practice on the compulsory TCF tests.
- Le français facile with RFI, for listening.
“Free tests” on other sites
Many sites offer free question sets or PDFs. None is an official paper, and none can give you a real score out of 699, because FEI’s scale weights each question by difficulty. FEI also forbids copying, photographing or reusing its exam papers, so a PDF sold as a “real past paper” is not a reliable source.
For writing and speaking
Multiple-choice answers check themselves. Writing and speaking don’t, someone has to mark them. For speaking, record yourself on FEI’s typical topics (task 1, task 2, task 3). For writing, NCLC Prep marks 2 tasks out of 20 for free, no account, with every mistake fixed and your estimated NCLC.
