Each version of the TEF consists of 4 or 5 of the following sections. Except for the Oral Expression, all sections are taken on computer.
The certificate is emailed directly to the applicant within 2 to 3 weeks of the applicant's session.
The TEF grades candidates using a scale of 7 levels that range from 0+ level (basic skills) to level 6 (complete control).
A digital certificate of results, valid for 2 years, is issued for the applicant and shows the scores on each section of the
test.
Candidates may take the test as many times as they want. However, a one-month waiting period is required between two sessions.
