Can I pause a mock exam?

No. Section timers continue and leaving the exam tab forfeits the attempt. Plan a full block of time before you start.

Is the mock the same as the official TEF?

It follows TEF Canada structure and timing for training. Official certification only comes from an authorized test center.

TEF Canada mock exam

A real mock means all four skills in one sitting with section timers — not cherry-picking easy questions. CanadaFrenchPath runs a full TEF Canada simulation (~2h 55m) with AI speaking/writing grading and NCLC estimates afterward.

Full mock structure

Reading: 40 MCQs · 60 min · official TEF blocks
Listening: 40 MCQs · 40 min · with audio
Speaking: Sections A & B · live AI examiner · ~15 min
Writing: 2 tasks · ~60 min · AI graded
After: NCLC-oriented results to plan your next week

Mock exam strategy

Block ~3 hours uninterrupted. Leaving the tab forfeits the attempt — like test-day discipline.
Do not pause between sections to “study the answer key.” Review only after submission.
Log four scores and your weakest skill. That skill owns next week’s study plan.
Book the official exam when two consecutive mocks sit at NCLC 7+ with a buffer.
