The exam, one question at a time

What it is, and what it isn't

The mocks and exercises are written for SparkAI to follow the official format; they aren't past papers. Writing and speaking grades are AI estimates on the official grids, shown as a range, and not yet checked against human examiners. Your readiness is described from your own results and never as a chance of passing. SparkAI isn't affiliated with France Éducation international.

Building your French first? The free French course goes from A0 to C2, and the level test tells you where to start.

Questions

What score do I need to pass the DELF B2?

50 out of 100 overall, with at least 5 out of 25 in each of the four sections. A very strong total doesn't make up for one section under 5.

Are SparkAI's mock exams official?

No. They're original practice material written to follow the official format and timings. SparkAI isn't affiliated with or endorsed by France Éducation international, which sets and awards the DELF, and a score here isn't a DELF result.

How are writing and speaking marked?

An AI applies the official 2022 grids criterion by criterion, quotes your own words as evidence and gives a range, not a single mark. These grades haven't yet been checked against human examiners, so they're labelled as estimates.

Do I need an account?

You can read the exam overview, set up your preparation, get a study plan and do the reading and listening practice without one. Mock exams, the quick diagnostic and AI grading of writing and speaking need a free account, so your answers and recordings are kept safely.

How long should I prepare for the DELF B2?

It depends on where you start. The quick diagnostic gives a first indication in about 20 minutes, and the study plan spreads your weekly time across the sections that need it most, up to your exam date.
