  • Since 2024 the DELF listening part (A2–B2) uses only multiple-choice questions, with more but shorter items.
  • CEFR A2 listening: catch the main point in short, clear, simple messages and announcements.
Quelle [7]

  • Duration: 30 min; 3–4 short written documents.
  • Short everyday documents; since 2024 multiple-choice questions only.
  • CEFR A2 reading: find specific, predictable information in simple everyday material such as ads, menus and timetables.

  • Duration: 45 min; 2 short texts.
  • Describe an event or experience; write an interactive text such as an invitation, thanks or apology (letter or message).

Prüfungstipps von EUpassway · redaktionell, keine offiziellen Regeln

1Aim above 5/25 everywhere

A high total does not help if one part is below 5/25. Train your weakest skill first.

2Practise with timing

Do a full written practice in one sitting (1 Std. 40) so you know how it feels.

3Book early

Centres have registration windows and limited places. Check two or three centres near you.

4Keep the diploma safe

The diploma is valid for life and you may need it for several applications. Keep a scan and the original.
