Not much information is online about taking the TOCFL B Band test, so I wanted to share my experience and hopefully help others better prepare for it. One important thing, I only took the speaking and writing tests, because the reading and listening tests had no seats left. At the time of this writing, the speaking and writing can only be done once a year in Taiwan, so I jumped on it as soon as I could.

I did the TOCFL B Band (Speaking & Writing) in Taiwan with only one month of prep. Landed Writing B2 (Fluent) and Speaking B1 (High-Intermediate).

Some background, I been learning Chinese for over 12 years but over the last 4 studied pretty hardcore. Daily conversations, reading, listening and writing Chinese. I thought B2 would be fairly easy but I ended up not getting B2 in speaking. Oh well. On my blog I wrote the strategy I used in terms of studying, and shared my AI prompts.

If you have any questions I can answer them for you.
