One outline per task, the phrases that score, a correction per official criterion.

How it works

  1. 1

    A free placement test

    Four short sections. You know where you stand against your goal, skill by skill.

  2. 2

    The method, task by task

    Every exercise comes with its task's method sheet: expected structure, model outline, mistakes that cost points.

  3. 3

    Timed mock exams

    Same number of questions, same duration, timer held by the server. You arrive on exam day on familiar ground.

Everything you need to prepare, in one place

Not another French course: training in the exact format of the test, with precise feedback every time.

Exercises in the test format

Listening and reading by task type, with every answer choice explained. You learn why an answer is right, not just which one.

Timed mock exams

Same number of questions, same duration. The timer runs on the server: no cheating yourself. You walk in on exam day on familiar ground.

Writing corrected criterion by criterion

A score out of 5 per official criterion, errors classified with excerpt, fix and explanation, strengths, advice and an improved version of your text. Within minutes.

Speaking recorded, transcribed and assessed

You record in the real format. You get the transcript, scores per criterion, pace and hesitations flagged, and concrete advice.

One method sheet per task

Expected structure, model plan, phrases that earn points, mistakes that cost them. The sheet is open right inside the exercise.

Progress and report

Your CLB estimate per skill, attempt after attempt, the gap to your goal, and a PDF report to keep.

Review by a trainer

On request, a corrected paper is reviewed by a trainer who adds their opinion. For the productions that matter.

Mock oral exam with a certified examiner

Forty minutes by video call, in the real format: the examiner asks, follows up, then fills in the official grid. A human beats a synthetic voice for interaction.

What sets us apart

We looked at what exists. Here is what we do differently.

  • The method of the tasks, not past papers

    You have the French. What costs points is not knowing the codes of each task. Every exercise is tied to its method sheet.

  • Feedback per official criterion

    An overall grade does not tell you what to work on. Our corrections follow the exam grid, criterion by criterion, with an explanation per error.

  • One-time payment, prices shown

    No subscription that keeps running after your exam. A 1 to 3 month access, correction credits included, and a free placement test to start.

  • Your data stays yours

    Recordings deletable on request, automatic purge, export of all your data in one click. Papers sent to the grader carry no name or email.

  • A certified assessor in practice

    Our teaching partner teaches and assesses within the Alliance française network. That qualification can be checked; we do not display a pass rate we cannot prove.

Simple pricing

One access, correction credits included, nothing recurring. One credit = one writing correction; speaking costs two.

Who is behind Examitude

A team of French-as-a-second-language trainers based in Canada, who coached candidates towards the TEF and TCF before building this platform. The method comes from the classroom; the tool makes it available every day, at your pace.

Frequently asked questions

What candidates ask us most.

TEF Canada or TCF Canada: which one?

Both are accepted by IRCC and yield a CLB level. The TEF has two writing tasks and two speaking tasks; the TCF has three and three, with slightly different durations. The choice mostly depends on dates and test centres near you. The preparation covers both: the placement test shows where you stand on each.

What does CLB 7 mean?

Canadian Language Benchmarks run from 1 to 12. CLB 7 roughly matches a solid B2; it is the threshold most often targeted for Express Entry and several provincial programs. The table above gives the minimum scores per skill.

Is the assisted correction reliable?

The correction follows the official grid, criterion by criterion, and every error comes with an excerpt of your text and an explanation. The CLB shown is a training estimate, not an official result. For important productions you can request a review by a trainer.

Is the placement test really free?

Yes, in all four skills, no credit card. You leave with an estimate per skill and the gap to your goal. One writing-correction credit is offered at sign-up.

Is there a subscription?

No. You buy a 1, 2 or 3 month access once, correction credits included. Nothing renews. If you buy again during an access, the days are added after it.

Does the examiner speak during the assisted correction?

No. The assisted correction transcribes your recording, assesses it on the official grid and returns detailed written feedback; you are alone with the prompt. For the real interaction of the test, book a mock exam by video call with a certified examiner: they ask, follow up, and fill in the same grid.
