Know your starting level
Take a level check first. Choose study material that matches your level, not your goal.
If your level is far below your target, build the base first. Exam tricks do not replace grammar.
Practise every week
Listen to French every day. Use news, podcasts, and radio at a normal speed.
Read short articles and note new words. Write one short text each week and ask a teacher to correct it.
Speak aloud, even alone. Record yourself and listen back.
Use timed practice
The tests are timed. Practise with a clock so that time does not surprise you on the day.
After each practice, review every error. Write down the cause: vocabulary, grammar, or speed.
Rules and fees change. Always check the official sources: France Éducation international and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
