Test

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Changes to the written expression test

The format of the written expression test is changing and will now be based on the model of the TCF written expression test used for the assessment in French of all persons wishing to pursue higher education in France at the bachelor's or master's level.

The structure of the test remains unchanged: candidates will be assessed on their listening, reading, grammar and vocabulary skills (in the form of MCQs) and written expression.
However, the new written expression test will last 60 minutes, 30 minutes less than the old version, and will consist of 3 tasks.
The total time for the full TCF-DAP will thus be reduced to 2h25.

A candidate who has taken a TCF (TFC TP) with a written expression test and who holds an attestation whose validity date is current and whose level is sufficient, will be able to use his TCF attestation for his application for prior admission and will therefore not be required to take a TCF DAP. In fact, the TCF TP tests with written expression and those of the TCF DAP are strictly identical, so the certificates are equivalent.

There are no preliminary or replacement sessions in case of absence.
