Friend missed TEF by 1 point:(

[kiral9]

My friend has been studying French for the past 9 months with me and an online school. He put in so much effort, constantly practicing and improving because he needed to pass the TEF Canada exam for his PR application. His work visa is expiring soon, so this was a huge deal for him and his future. He was doing great in all the practice tests, and honestly we were all confident he would make it. But when the results came in, he missed the required CLB score by just one point on the speaking section. Everything else was good enough. That one point made all the difference.

It’s heartbreaking. He worked so hard, and all his friends and family were behind him. Seeing him fall short by the smallest margin is painful.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to rewrite just the speaking section, or does he have to retake the whole exam?

Need to redo whole exam.

For me it was missing very shortly by 2 times. Look at the positive side, your friend is closer to getting CLB7 now instead of looking at it negatively. Obviously, it sucks, but he's already there now. Ask him to give again.
