TEF Canada study plan

Diagnose current level by completing one full-length reading section and one full-length listening section under timed conditions

Identify the three question types you miss most often in reading and label them explicitly

Set up a daily 15-minute French news-reading routine and log each article's main idea in one sentence

Build a personal vocabulary list of 40 words drawn only from articles and audio you actually read or heard

Practise skimming short notices, ads and forms to locate a single specific detail within 60 seconds

Distinguish main idea from supporting detail across five short informational texts

Train listening for numbers, dates and proper nouns by transcribing ten short audio clips

Reduce average time per reading question to under 75 seconds without dropping accuracy

Write two 80-word opinion paragraphs using a fixed introduction-body-conclusion skeleton

Record and self-review three 2-minute spoken monologues on familiar personal topics

Compile and memorise 25 connective phrases for structuring written and spoken argument

Self-correct recurring grammar errors by tagging every mistake in your own writing with its category

Complete two full timed reading sections and two full timed listening sections back to back

Analyse every wrong answer and classify it as vocabulary gap, misread question, or time pressure

Increase reading accuracy on inference questions by practising five items with written justification for each answer

Practise note-taking during a 3-minute audio passage and answer questions from notes only

Write one full formal message of 120-150 words under a 30-minute timer

Write one structured argumentative text of 200-250 words with clear thesis and two supporting points

Eliminate repeated agreement and tense errors by rewriting two earlier drafts from scratch

Expand sentence variety by converting ten simple sentences into complex ones using subordinate clauses

Deliver five 3-minute spoken responses to opinion prompts with no preparation time

Record yourself answering and reduce filler pauses by counting them per recording

Practise a two-person interaction scenario twice, once as interviewer and once as respondent

Improve pronunciation of ten problem sounds by shadowing a native audio clip for five minutes daily

Run one full simulated exam across all four domains in a single sitting

Review every error from the simulation and assign a corrective action to each

Rehearse the spoken section twice with a timer to lock in pacing

Rewrite one timed written production to target the specific weaknesses flagged in the simulation

Repeat the full simulation and confirm improvement in at least two domains

Drill only the two weakest question types until accuracy stabilises above your target

Polish your written templates and spoken openers so they can be deployed from memory

Taper to light review and protect sleep in the final three days before test day
