Exam content

The DELF B1 Junior / Scolaire exam consists of two different parts: written and oral. Students will take the written part of the DELF B1 exam first and will be invited to the oral part a second time.

The written part is divided into several tests:
- Oral comprehension
- Written comprehension

- Written production

The oral interview is conducted by Delf examiners and lasts only 5-10 minutes. An oral preparation is allowed for 10 minutes after meeting the subjects. The Delf B1 oral is organized in 3 stages: questions asked by the Delf examiner, questions from the students and then a simulated dialogue between the student and the examiner on the basis of a role play.

There are three collective tests where other candidates take the test at the same time, in the same room. And an individual test where each candidate is alone in front of 2 examiners.
