To prepare for the telc testing format, we recommend looking at the information about each exam on the telc website, and to try out the training test (free of charge). The training test will help you understand the exam format and the exam procedures of each exam. And the answer sheets about both reading and listening comprehension allow you to find out whether you are ready to take the exam. If you take the training test, please make sure that you have 4 hours' time at your disposal.
