How the test works
Section A · 5 minutes
Ask for information
You have read an advertisement and you phone to ask about ten questions. Formal register: use “vous” and polite phrases.
Section B · 10 minutes
Present a document and persuade
You present an advertisement to a friend and persuade them to join you. They never agree: answer their objections. Friendly register.
Instructions
- One minute of preparation comes before each section: read the document and prepare your ideas.
- Allow your browser to use the microphone to record yourself.
- Do not recite a memorised text: in the exam, it is treated as cheating.
- The examiner's sheet and the model productions are shown at the end of the test.
Estimated scoring
Speaking is not marked automatically. AI marking transcribes your recording and applies the TEF grid: an estimated CEFR level for each criterion, an overall level, then the matching range of points out of 699 and CLB levels.
Indicative estimate. The official TEF score is calibrated by Le français des affaires; for Express Entry, only the “ancien score” equivalence on the certificate counts.
