TOCFL reading/listening exam - band C

[jannesan]

Feeling quite confident in my reading and listening abilities, I decided it is finally time to take an official language test. Since it is significantly cheaper than the HSK, I opted for taking the TOCFL reading/listening test. And because why not, I just went straight for the band C test, which upon passing it, attests a C1 or C2 level depending on the score. After taking the test, I am not too confident that I have passed it though..

 

I did a detailed write-up of my experience here on my blog for those interested. Has anyone here taken the TOCFL recently? How did it go? I am very curious what kind of score I will get. I would not be surprised to have failed it miserably, but deep down I am also hopeful that some of those gut-feeling answers were correct 😄

I have taken the TOCFL exams a few times.

 

I did a write up of my first two experiences on my blog.

 

My first time taking the TOCFL: https://elliottjones.net/en/blog/first_time_tocfl.html

When I passed TOCFL Listening Level 4: https://elliottjones.net/en/blog/passed_tocfl4_listening.html

 

Most recently I took the Band B speaking test and am now awaiting the results, later this month I’ll write about that too.

I don't understand. Your LinkedIn blog banner says, "Near-native level Mandarin Chinese fluency" but your TOCFL was B1, and then later mixed B1/B2. I scored B2/C1 on the TOCFL but don't feel even close to near-native. Did you have problems with test anxiety?
