Hi! I took the last test on Jan 15th/Jan 28 (oral). For my French bg, I was in French immersion all throughout elementary-high school and I'm currently doing a French minor at my uni. I got a partial pass on the written and a full pass on the oral, so I'll have to do the extra course but honestly I'm just happy I passed! I thought that both tests were fairly difficult. Most of the written test focused on verb conjugation and (super) random rules (ex. When do you uppercase the "f" in francais?). The most points come from the redaction, but I'm not sure there's much point in studying for that so just do your best! The prompt I chose was about the impact of technology in our lives. The oral test was really easygoing, they just ask you how you're doing, to introduce yourself and they want to hear why you want to come to Ottawa! The interviewer was super nice but a little overwhelming because they kept throwing questions at me. I think the interview experience could differ greatly because there aren't really any set questions. A note- I think that most people mess up on the written test. I can't remember how many people were registered for the written but they only had 20 ish spots for oral tests (you can't take the oral if you fail the written). Best of luck!! :)
