Description & structure
The DELF Prim exam is a French proficiency test developed by the French Ministry of Education, internationally recognized and valid
for life.
It is designed to assess the communicative skills of a candidate in a real-life situation, using authentic documents, rather than the
linguistic and formal grammatical knowledge.
Four skills are evaluated through two examinations:
- collective examination: listening, reading, writing;
- individual examination: speaking.
