| Reading (compréhension des écrits) | 25 |
| Writing (production écrite) | 25 |
| Speaking (production orale) | 25 |
To pass (DELF B1, DELF B2, DALF C1): at least 50 out of 100 points overall and at least 5 out of 25 in each part. Source: DELF/DALF exam regulations, Bulletin officiel. Task types and timings have been revised since – you will find current sample papers at France Éducation international.
Good to know for Canada: Québec accepts DELF and DALF for its Skilled Worker Selection Program (PSTQ); results must be no more than two years old when you apply (Gouvernement du Québec). More on our page about TCF Canada and TEF Canada.
