General information
It evaluates the four communication skills:
Exam format
All exams comprise two phases. The first part covers listening, reading, and writing, whereas the second will be evaluating your speaking skills.
About the new format:
For all DELF A1 to B2, the new format (Listening and Reading Comprehensions with only multiple choice questions and more documents) is being introduced progressively over the next few years and both the new and old formats will coexist at least until 2025. Candidates should be prepared to answer both open questions and multiple choice questions as they may encounter the old format when they sit their examinations.
Please note that neither format provides an advantage in terms of difficulty, as the examinations are calibrated for each level.
