Know your score before you book the exam.
Four skills, scored the way the real examiner scores them — with an honest range, not a flattering number.
Your score is produced by software, not by a human examiner. Speech is transcribed automatically, pronunciation and fluency are scored at the phoneme level, grammar and spelling are checked deterministically, and a language model applies the exam's published criteria. Exactly how, layer by layer →
- A full mock exam, free, at full scoring quality
- No card required
- The app's interface is English; the exam content is in the language of the exam
Real screenshots Photographed from the running engine, not drawn. TCF Canada is built — all four épreuves. No predicted score appears on any of these screens, because none is published yet.
Where are you going?
Which test you need, and which score counts, follow from the destination. Pick yours.
Immigrating to Canada
Express Entry and the provincial programmes. Five accepted tests, all read in CLB and NCLC.
Which test Canada accepts →Studying in the UK, Australia, New Zealand or Ireland
University admission takes IELTS Academic — not the version Canada asks for.
General Training or Academic? →Migrating to the UK, Australia or New Zealand
The UK Skilled Worker route, the Australian points test and New Zealand residence.
What each route asks for →Canadian citizenship
A different requirement from permanent residence, with a different list of accepted proofs.
What counts for citizenship →Four skills, each scored on the exam’s own terms
IELTS and TCF Canada both work today; TEF Canada is not started. The site says which is which on every page, and the store listings will not describe an exam before it ships.
Speaking
Your own recording, replayed with word-level pronunciation, fluency and hesitation marks. Not a score and a sentence of advice.
Listening
Played once, at the real pace. The French audio is Québécois, Parisian and Swiss — the accents are in the recording, not in the marking. Every accepted test is scored on its own published scale.
Reading
The exact question types the exam sets, including the ones candidates lose marks to for technique rather than comprehension.
Writing
Live checks against the five automatic-zero triggers while you write, then criterion-by-criterion feedback.
Real screenshot Compréhension orale, from the running engine. The recording has played, so the control reads Played and will not play again. The question appears only afterwards, as it does in the exam.
The clock is real. The audio plays once.
Readiness can only be observed under the conditions the exam actually imposes. That is a product-engineering problem rather than an intelligence problem, and it is the part a general assistant will never reproduce.
- Task timings taken from the published specification, not approximated
- Listening audio plays once — no replay, no pause
- The whole exam runs offline, with scoring queued for when you reconnect
- Québécois, Parisian and Swiss voices for the French exam — an accent you will meet, not an accent that changes your mark
How one response becomes one range
Seven layers. The first three are deterministic and cost nothing. The fourth is where two independent judges score against the official criteria. The last three are what make the output honest.
- Neither judge can see the other's score
- Disagreement widens the range instead of being averaged away
- Calibrated against real graded samples, then published
What works today, and what is being built
Available now
- TCF Canada — all four épreuves. 100 listening recordings, 102 reading documents, three written and three spoken tâches
- IELTS General Training — 320 listening and 335 reading questions, plus writing and speaking
- IELTS Academic — reading and writing. It is not accepted for Canadian economic immigration, and the app says so where you choose it
- A full mock exam that runs end to end: four sections, one clock, audio that plays once, and boundaries you cannot cross backwards
- An exact comprehension level — counted, not estimated, because the scale is published and the key is ours
- The reference tools on this site — which test Canada accepts, and the score converter
1,036 questions across five sections. Every coordinate the planner can offer has at least four recordings behind it, so a second sitting is not the first sitting. Free on iOS, Android and the web.
In build
- TEF Canada — not started. It is a plan, not a product, and it is listed here rather than beside the exams that exist
- A predicted band or score for writing and speaking. The feedback is criterion by criterion; no predicted number is published
- Published accuracy statistics and the first fairness audit
We do not give a date. A date we could not keep would be worth less than silence.
If you are going to Canada
Everything in this block is Canadian immigration and nothing else. If your destination is the UK, Australia, New Zealand or Ireland, these numbers are not yours — that route starts here.
IRCC reads CLB and NCLC — not your band score
Each accepted test reports on its own scale, and every one of them converts to a single number IRCC actually uses. Your governing level is the lowest of your four skills, which is where most candidates lose points they already had.
- 4
- 5
- 6
- 7
- 8
- 9
- 10
NCLC 7 across all four French skills is worth 50 CRS points if your English is CLB 5 or above.
The largest category, by a wide margin
From 1 January to 19 August 2026, IRCC issued 119,865 Express Entry invitations. French-language proficiency accounted for 50,500 of them — more than the Canadian Experience Class, and more than every other category combined.
- The most recent French-category round cut off at CRS 382; the Canadian Experience Class round cut off at CRS 523 — a 141-point gap
- The last general, no-category draw was 23 April 2024
- NCLC 7 in all four French skills is worth 50 CRS points if your English is CLB 5 or above, and 25 points if it is CLB 4 or below
What we teach, and what we will not
We teach exam technique in full: what each task actually asks for, the hard constraints, the mistakes that score zero regardless of your language level, and where the minutes are worth points.
We will give you structure — a skeleton you fill with your own content. We will not give you a script to reproduce. The exam scores memorised text at zero, and our own editor is built to flag it while you write.
Every point your ability earns, plus the technique most candidates lose. Not a point beyond that.
