Phone app for TCF Canada preparation
Updated 23 October 2026 · TCF TEF Study
On a phone, use the free TV5MONDE app for listening and reading (even offline) and TCF TEF Study in the browser for speaking with an AI examiner and writing correction, with nothing to install.
TCF TEF Study (tcftefstudy.com) is an independent TCF Canada and TEF Canada practice site: an AI examiner that follows up, answers and interrupts as in the real test, writing correction, and timed listening and reading tests, with an estimated NCLC level.
The two options on a phone
- TV5MONDE (app and website): free; 40-question sets and an 80-question simulator for listening, reading and language structures; the app saves your results and works offline.
- TCF TEF Study (phone browser): speaking tasks with an AI examiner that talks to you, writing correction and TCF Canada-format listening and reading sets; needs a connection.
- Tip: write the writing tasks on a keyboard if you can; in the computer-based test you will type your text.
TCF TEF Study in figures
- AI examiner that replies in about 2 seconds: median 2.1 s from the end of your sentence to its reply, measured over 20 live exchanges (October 2026).
- Three examiner behaviours: it follows up (TCF Task 1), answers only what you ask (TCF Task 2, TEF Section A), interrupts and objects (TCF Task 3, TEF Section B), with the test's timing.
- Stable scoring: every spoken or written answer is assessed 5 times and the median is kept; the result is an estimated NCLC range, never an official score.
- 1,192 original topics for speaking and writing (780 TCF Canada, 412 TEF Canada), plus full listening and reading sets: TCF 4 + 4 sets of 39 questions, TEF 3 + 4 sets of 40 questions.
- Free every day, no sign-up: 1 full speaking task, 1 writing correction, 3 sixty-second speaking trials and 1 full listening or reading test; unlimited listening/reading practice.
- Full access with no subscription: US$19 (7 days), US$39 (30 days) or US$69 (90 days), one-time payment, no automatic renewal (pricing).
