Take the Test

The main objective of the Second Language Proficiency Test (TPLS) is to determine your level of proficiency in French. You will obtain a result from 1 to 10 corresponding to the levels of the Scale of Second Language Proficiency Levels. For more details, see the proficiency levels descriptions.

The test takes 60 to 90 minutes to complete. It is divided into two main sections: oral comprehension and written comprehension. The test cannot be stopped in the middle of a section. You may take a break after completing the questions on oral comprehension. Your answers will be automatically saved. To return to the questionnaire, go back to tpls.ca, click Continue Test, and enter your username and password. The test will resume at the beginning of the section on written comprehension.

 You can access the questionnaire from any computer connected to the Internet. The test is optimized for Internet Explorer (version 9.0 or later) and Firefox (version 8.0 or later). Make sure your browser version is adequate.
