FAQ

The answers, before the questions.

The free trial, full access, payments, feedback, and the rules of the test itself.

The platform

Practising on TCF Canada Ready

Can I practise without creating an account?

Yes. 6 listening sets and 6 reading sets open directly on the site, with instant correction. The most recent expression sessions can also be read without an account.

When should I start preparing?

As soon as your date is set. The study plan adapts to the time you have left: more than 60 days to build, the last month to simulate, the last five days for a final sprint. Enter your date in the countdown to see your typical week.

What does full access unlock?

Every comprehension set, every expression session, timed simulations, detailed feedback on your responses, the simulated speaking interview, the coach and progress tracking.

Do payments renew?

No. Every plan is a one-time payment. Your access simply ends after the chosen period, with no further charge.

What are the plans?

Bronze: 14.99 USD for 5 days; Silver: 29.99 USD for 30 days; Gold: 49.99 USD for 60 days; Platinum: 59.99 USD for 90 days. Every feature is identical; only the access period changes.

How does feedback on writing and speaking work?

Your response is analyzed by AI: estimated level, scored criteria, identified errors and one priority for your next attempt. For speaking, text feedback does not measure pronunciation; voice analysis gives separate feedback on fluency and pronunciation.

Do the sets follow the test format?

Yes. Every comprehension set contains 39 questions, from A1 to C2, in test order: 35 minutes for listening, 60 minutes for reading.

How are expression prompts organized?

By monthly session, then by combination: one prompt of every task, as on test day. Once you are signed in, every combination opens its simulation on the same page.

Are the prompts translated into English?

No. Prompts stay in French, exactly as on test day. On the English site, only the explanations and the method are translated.

Are sample answers available?

They are being added progressively to expression prompts. When a prompt has one, it appears under the instructions.
