FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
How long must I wait for the results?
One to two months. Certificates are collected from the examination centre where you took your test.
If I fail the examination, can I take it again?
The TEF is not an examination, rather an assessment test. You receive a score corresponding to your level. Yes, you can take the test again but you must wait at least 2 months from the date of taking it (3 months if you intend to migrate to Canada).
How long is the TEF assessment valid for?
One year after the date when it was taken, not from the date of the results being issued.
If I only take the compulsory tests, can I take the two optional tests afterwards?
Yes, you can take one or the other (or both). This test must take place within 365 days of your taking (not receiving the results of) the compulsory tests.
