TEF/TCF Mock Test — Speaking & Writing

A real TEF/TCF speaking test and a properly marked writing script. Thirty minutes, one examiner, one candidate, clock running.

About this course

Sitting the TEF cold is an expensive way to find out what you didn't know. This is the same test under the same clock, with someone who marks these for a living sitting across from you. Book Speaking, Writing, or both. Speaking runs as the real thing: the prompts, the timing, the interruptions. Writing works the other way round — you send your script in beforehand and your thirty minutes is spent going through it line by line, while the reasons are still fresh. You walk out with a score against the official criteria and the three things costing you the most points. We don't sell scores and we don't promise one. We tell you where you actually are.

What you'll achieve
