PrepMyFuture or Français Prep?

PrepMyFuture is a long-running online preparation platform covering both the TEF and the TCF, built around official practice material, course sheets and a large exercise bank with detailed corrections.

They sell coverage: a lot of material, both exams, structured and corrected. We sell a narrower thing: a person marking the two sections you cannot mark yourself, against a date. If you do not yet know where you are losing marks, their breadth is the better first purchase.

Questions

About PrepMyFuture

Is PrepMyFuture worth it?

For breadth, it is a sensible purchase, and it has been around long enough to be a known quantity. If your problem is that you do not know where you stand, a big corrected exercise bank is a rational first step and cheaper than a person.

What does it not do?

The same thing no platform does: read a text you wrote and tell you the fault you did not know to look for. Detailed corrections attached to exercises answer the question the exercise asked. They cannot tell you that your section B arguments arrive in the order they occurred to you.

Can I use both?

Yes, and it is a reasonable pairing. Their volume for comprehension, human marking for production. We would rather you did that than bought either twice.

Which one is cheaper?

We do not publish other providers' prices. Ours are on this site. The honest comparison is not sticker price but what you need: breadth you already have is not a saving.

Are you affiliated with PrepMyFuture?

No. No relationship, no referral arrangement, and nothing here is endorsed by them.
