Which French exam is easier for Quebec : TEFaQ or TCFQ ?

[donutbox]

I am planning on applying for the Quebec Certificate of Selection and I will need to do one of the the following exams to prove French proficency.



Has anyone done any of these exams, can someone tell me which is easier? Also, what kind of preperation did you have to do for these exams?

[1] Test score adapted from French Quebec (TEFaQ)
[2] TCF for Quebec (TCFQ)

Both of them are the same difficulty.

Did you do one of them? If so which one?


I am very interested in knowing what methods did you use to prepare for the exams (I am assuming that you were/are not a native French speaker).


Thnx much.

My husband as principal applicant took TEFAQ because we only place he could take the exam was alliance francais and they did not conduct the TCFAQ. We did not prepare for the exam, he is not a french native speaker, but he graduated a french language school 12 years ago and still remembers it Thats all.

ton40, just looking for the one to score most points on - delf and tefaq which is easier?

 

[ton40]

tefaq is much easier than delf

I took TCFQ. It is basically a light version of TCF. There are two parts - listening and speaking. For the listening part you have to have your ear tuned really well since the recordings have a lot of inserted background noise. For speaking your voice is recorded (for like 15 minutes) while you answer some basic questions. Results of the test are sent directly to Quebec Immigration.

Hi everyone! very interesting forum,

I prepared for the TFC Quebec exam and the school I went to told me that they only prepared for the TFC Q one because it is easier and it is valid for 2 years whereas the TEFAq is only valid for one year. I scored really well in March and I am preparing for my interview in Paris now. For those who live in London near Ealing Broadway (French in the City) it might be useful to pop in because they have very good preparation and they were quite flexible with my schedule

Hope it helps!

Dear Donutbox,

DELF is easiest because the examiners don't do any Negative marking in DELF exam.I hope it helps
