Suggested pace
Split each level's duration into four stages to track progress and know when to move on to practice tests.
Assess and set a schedule
Compare your current vocabulary against the TOCFL 5 target, then fix your weekly sessions and a target exam date.
Build vocabulary by topic
Learn new words in topic clusters, combining handwriting practice to remember the characters.
Drill listening and reading
Get used to TOCFL question formats for listening and reading, timing each section to match exam pressure.
Mock exam and error review
Run a full mock exam, group your mistakes by type, then revisit the weak areas before registering for the real test.
Change level
Jump to the roadmap for the level just below or above.
TOCFL is Taiwan's Chinese proficiency exam and is taken in Traditional characters. This roadmap follows the official TOCFL vocabulary targets, while the app still shows Simplified characters by default — use the Traditional ↔ Simplified tool when you need to compare.
