Can I take a full TCF sample test, to determine my current level?

R.e. this question:

Tous les gosses y vont, mais ________ prend le train.

User "Lolli" in Jan 2018 asked if "personne ne" would also be correct in this sentence (in addition to the "correct" answer of "aucun ne"). I think that in spoken conversation, "personne ne" would be acceptable and convey equivalent meaning. There hasn't yet been a definitive response as to whether "personne ne" is acceptable grammatically. 

Can anyone provide definitive guidance on this? 

(Maybe the kwiziq website logic can't accommodate unanticipated responses?)

how does one say is it far or is london far from here or how do i get there?

We are always told that depuis is always used with present tense.

1. J‘habite en France depuis 6 ans…. Here depuis is being used with present tense.

2. Quand  j’avais l’opportunité de choisir la langue à l’école, mon choix était fait depuis longstemps…… here we are using imparfait with depuis.

Pls explain 

The lesson says that apparaitre and naitre and derivatives use etre in the passe compose.  But in the Test, the rabit disapeared from the hat uses avoir.

This is more a comment than a question.  I found this to be a difficult exercise.  For one thing, the vocabulary is not taught in a typical French class.  Words like laptop, headline, online etc are useful to know but not common.  Also, there were so many ways to say the same thing.  Sometimes the answers included alternate responses, sometimes not.  I was taught (and use) "les nouvelles" for the news.  I have never seen "les infos" before this exercise.

Can someone please explain the logic behind the difference in adjective agreement w/ nouns after "de" in these two sentences, which both are found in the exercise: 

1) "les distances de sécurité"

2) "quelques minutes de gagnées"

Why is "securité" not in agreement w/ "les distances," while "gagnées" is in agreement w/ "quelques minutes?"

for example...

One of the sentences was:  Je courrai jusqu'à chez moi.

I know it doesn't relate to the future, but why use jusqu'à ?

Thanks!
