Test

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Changes to the written expression test

The format of the written expression test is changing and will now be modelled on the TCF "general public" written expression test used to assess the French language skills of anyone wishing to pursue higher education studies in France at Licence 2 or 3 and Master's level.

The structure of the test remains unchanged: candidates will be assessed on their listening comprehension, reading comprehension, grammar and vocabulary (in the form of MCQs) and written expression skills.
However, the new written expression test will last 60 minutes, 30 minutes less than the old version, and will consist of 3 tasks.
The total time for the full TCF-DAP will therefore be reduced to around 2 hours 25 minutes..

A candidate who has taken a TCF tout public (TFC TP) with a written expression test and who holds an attestation whose validity date is current and whose level is sufficient will be able to use his TCF attestation for his application for prior admission and will therefore not be required to take a TCF DAP. In fact, the TCF TP written expression tests and the TCF DAP tests are strictly identical, so the certificates are equivalent.

There are no preliminary or replacement sessions in case of absence.
