Tcf or Tef? for clb 5

Hey everyone,

I’m currently preparing for CLB 5 in French and kinda stuck on choosing between TEF and TCF, so I’d really appreciate some advice.

Right now I’m around mid A2 level. I’ve finished A1 grammar and can speak basic sentences, but I’m still building vocabulary and trying to get more comfortable overall. Along with exam prep, I’m also following a grammar roadmap (I’ve attached it for reference). I’ve currently reached up to immediate future / recent past (A2 level).

​i’m thinking to book exam on July 13, so I’m slowly shifting from just learning French to more exam-focused practice too especially speaking, because I feel like that’s where I can improve vocab, connectors, sentence structure, and fluency.

I’ve actually taken the exam once before when I was a complete beginner and got:

So I’ve seen the format already, but I wasn’t really prepared back then.

From what I’ve heard:

  • TCF listening has more repeated/predictable question types
  • TEF speaking is supposed to be a bit easier, but listening is tougher compared to TCF

At my level, I can still catch basic French, but not everything yet.

So yeah, my main question is:
For CLB 5, which one is usually easier TEF or TCF?

Would really appreciate any real experiences or advice
