The task

Two people share opposite views on remote work. Compare the two viewpoints and then give and argue your own opinion in an article for a magazine.

  • Document 1Remote work boosts focus and gives people back hours lost to commuting; teams can stay close with the right tools.
  • Document 2Working from home weakens team bonds and blurs the line between work and rest; an office keeps people connected.
Target 120–180 words

NCLC 7 is worth up to 50 Express Entry points.

IRCC converts your TCF writing mark to an NCLC level: 10 out of 20 reaches NCLC 7. Strong French can add up to 50 points to your Express Entry score.

How it works

From a blank page to a graded answer.

One real TCF task, with a timer and word count, like the exam.

2.

Estimate

We structure feedback around the published TCF writing criteria.

3.

Notes on every line: what to fix, why, and a better way to write it.

4.

Track

Watch your score go up, and see if you’re ready for exam day.

Why the score holds

Feedback structured around published TCF criteria.

We organize feedback around the three published writing categories: linguistic, pragmatic, and sociolinguistic.

LinguistiqueYour words, grammar, spelling, and sentences.
PragmatiqueHow clearly your ideas connect and build.
Socioling.The right tone for who you’re writing to.

Private, and yours alone

Practise on your own schedule. Your writing stays yours: no teacher, no classmates, no waiting.

N.B.

This is practice, not an official score. Only the real exam gives an official result, and Express Entry looks at all four skills. Use your score here as a close guide to practise with.
