TEF IRN Prep: French B2 2026

An unofficial practice app published by AZSoft. It does not represent any government body and is not affiliated with Le Français des Affaires (CCI Paris Île-de-France) or with the French Ministry of the Interior.

The TEF IRN (Test d'Évaluation de Français — Intégration, Résidence et Nationalité) is published by Le Français des Affaires (CCI Paris Île-de-France) and has been accepted by the French state since 2026 for naturalisation (level B2 required), the 10-year resident card (B1) and residence permits / CIR (A2). It is the alternative to the TCF IRN: the same regulatory recognition, a different publisher, a different format. Four papers, 1 h 30 in total, scored 0 to 499 per paper.

Prépa TEF IRN is built to take you to the level your application requires, without wasting your time, with exercises calibrated on the official LFDA format.

THE 2026 THRESHOLDS — DON'T MISS THIS

Since 1 January 2026 (law no. 2024-42), the required levels have gone up: naturalisation B2 (was B1), resident card B1 (was A2), CIR / CSP A2. Many candidates are still preparing for the old level and fail. The app highlights the real threshold for your procedure.

EVERY ANSWER IS SOURCED AND EXPLAINED

Every question comes with an explanation that points to the key sentence in the audio or text and shows why each other option is wrong — the elimination method that wins points on exam day.

TRACK YOUR LEVEL

A readiness score per paper, updated after every session, places you against the CEFR threshold required for your procedure (A2, B1 or B2). Mock exam history, mastery bars per topic and detailed statistics.

AN INTERFACE IN 3 LANGUAGES

The interface is available in French, Arabic (full right-to-left layout) and English. The practice content itself stays in French — the language of the exam.
