TCF Vs TCF (ANF) Vs TCF Canada

Hi,

I know the basic difference between TCF Vs TCF (ANF) Vs TCF Canada and its specific purpose.

But my question is : Is the exam content almost the same in all these TCF exams.

For example, If I prepare for TCF, can I write TCF Canada?

Also, will clearing DELF exams will help in doing better in TCF exams?

Passer par vs. passer devant

I understood that the par or devant were essentially the same - both mean to pass by something. I answered passer devant in this questions just to use a different way of expressing the same meaning. It was, however, said to be an error and passer par was the correct answer. Please explain. Thanks.

une carte étudiant or une carte étudiante

Carte is feminine, so why the adjective is not étudiante?

Few/SeveralWhat English dialect is Kwiziq based on? My sociolect most definitely does not contain this silly "few is slightly less than several". Few is the opposite of many, it is not in a scale with several. Several means more than one, although usually 3 or more. I get that you are looking for a way to separate out the feel of scale in the French words, but it just doesn't work.
