Read faster and more accurately with timed series modelled on the TCF Canada reading test.

About the reading test
The documents range from short practical texts (notices, emails, advertisements) to longer articles that present opinions and arguments. Questions check that you understand both details and the general meaning.
Good time management is essential: easy questions come first, the hardest ones at the end.

Tips to improve
- Read the question first, then scan the text for the useful passage.
- Do not spend more than two minutes on a single question.
- Learn connectors such as however, therefore and although: they reveal the author's opinion.
- Read one article in French every day on a topic you do not know well.
