The most up-to-date information on preparing for a specific type of TCF is contained only on the official website that each exam has. And the textbooks listed are only a small part of those materials that can be useful in preparing for the upcoming test. But you can start with them.

On the official websites of French publications - CLE International, Hachette and Didier - most of them can not only be purchased in paper or electronic form, but also look through the table of contents, see how the theory is presented, and what training tasks are offered by the author-compilers.
