What is the TOCFL exam format?

TOCFL, run by SC-TOP under Taiwan’s Ministry of Education, is taken by band: Band A (入門基礎級, Levels 1–2), Band B (進階高階級, Levels 3–4) and Band C (流利精通級, Levels 5–6). Each band has a Listening test of 50 single-choice questions (about 60 minutes) and a Reading test of 50 (60 minutes).

Each section is reported on a scale score from 0 to 80. Since 2020, Bands B and C certificates need both a total score and a minimum in each section — for example Level 3 needs a total of at least 94 with Listening at least 42 and Reading at least 44.

What CEFR levels do the TOCFL bands match?

Band A covers CEFR A1–A2, Band B covers B1–B2 and Band C covers C1–C2, according to SC-TOP’s official level comparison.

Should I practise TOCFL in Traditional or Simplified characters?

Candidates can choose either character set. These practice tests use Traditional characters and Taiwan usage, with separate Band A, B and C mocks.
