TCF Québec: what does the listening test look like?
An honest fiche: some figures come from a snippet of the official page and need confirming.
Short answer : According to a snippet of the France Éducation international page, the TCF Québec listening test has 29 multiple-choice questions (four options, one correct) in 25 minutes, in a group session. Our tool could not open the full official page, so confirm these figures before you register.
Beta. The voices are synthetic voices supplied by your device and vary from one device to another. The content was written with the help of artificial intelligence; a review by a native Québécois speaker is under way. Found a mistake? Write to [email protected] with the item id (F-tcf-format).

Why these labels?
When we cannot read the official document ourselves, we say so. The France Éducation international page blocked our automatic reader; the values above come from a snippet of that page and from exam-centre pages. Nothing here replaces the official page or your exam centre.
How to practise
Our exercises copy the task: an audio document, a question, four options with one correct answer. Start with announcements, phone messages and short dialogues. These are original items, not real exam questions.
