Just a little update in case it can help.

Like I told you before, I passed DALF C1 back in March and after sending my application with the attestation, it got sent back because they wanted the original diploma. The latter takes forever to be sent; I still have not received it til' now.

I decided to take the TCFQ, and passed it last week. I think it is much easier that the DALF/DELF, and the thing is even if you mess up they would accurately evaluate your level. With the DALF/DELF, you choose a level to be tested on, and you are taking a risk to fail and not have any score.

For TCFQ, for the oral comprehension, the questions from 1 to 16 are pretty straight forward, with first four being just pictures and you having to identify the situation from sentences that you hear. Afterwards, it's all about simples sentences and dialogues corresponding to each other. From questions 17 to 30 the dialogues become more complex, but their an easy trick that I noticed. When you hear the dialogue, do not too much attention to the 'details' of the dialogue, but pay attention to the general idea. From the multiple choice answer, the likely choice is actually the 'general answer', the one referring to the general idea of the dialogue. The test tries to trick you by putting specific words that you may have heard in the other 'wrong' answers.

The oral production was almost the same as DELF/DALF in the sense that you have to talk, but it was surely easier and less formal that DELF/DALF.

Overall, I think it went well, and I would definitely advise you to choose TCFQ over DELF/DALF. It's easier and you get your results quicker.

Hope this helps

This is a very good observation, I'm of the opinion that TCFQ is mainly for Quebec application process i.e. the listening and oral aspects only, so why stress one self in taking the other exams that are more general and more difficult. Except for those that can't have easy access to sitting for TCFQ, I wouldn't recommend any other exam for the QSW application process.

Cheers

That's correct. They no longer accept the attestation, but only want the original diploma that can take some time to come. I have heard that it can take 6 months to even a year to be delivered, but this depends on the alliance francaise. I have done DALF C1 in March, and until now I have still not received the diploma. I had a very good score, but my application package was returned to me. As different staff at the Alliance francaise, just to be sure that they all give you the same answer. Here at first they said 5 months, but when I asked again someone said 6 months to a year.

Exactly! At first I only took DALF because I thought TCFQ was not available here. They actually did not advertise it (but advertise all the other test), so one has to ask to know about it. But yes, I definitely recommend TCFQ.
