French Language proficiency test

Hi all. I'm interested in testing my French level with a French Language proficiency test. There seems to be quite a few, but I was wondering what is the best one for non-native speakers? 

 

Let me know what you think below! Thanks.

TCF or TEF. These tests both meant for determination of the level of knowledges at French language. The competence is appreciated at four criteria: speaking, listening, reading and structure of language. The questions start by the most simple and go to more complicated ones.


TCFQ or TEFAQ (adapted for Quebec) include only two parts: listening and speaking.


DELF and DALF - it's a little bit more difficult things, like the real exams. A composition instead of grammar test. And besides it is an exam for confirmation of level but not for determination of.

 

If you just wont to know your total proficiency, take TCF or TEF.

 


P.S. Could you correct my text please. Sorry, my English is not so good...

I don't know exactly. I have passed TCF, TCFQ and DELF B1, but not TEF or TEFAQ. But I suppose that TCF and TEF are similar to each other.
Here is the website (http://www.testsdefrancais.com/  , http://www.ciep.fr/) with exercises for TCF and TEF - you can compare, approximately if nothing else
There is one more test (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_de_fran%C3%A7ais_international), but I know nothing about it. Try to find some information yourself.
