Preparing for the DALF (Diplôme d’études en langue française) exams can be uncomfortable and boring, but it doesn’t have to be. There is no compelling reason to worry or cram. By doing a few basic things right from the start, you can make sure you’re ready for anything that might happen on the DALF exam.

Take the time review what you have studied in French class. If you need to review a semester or year’s worth of French, you may want to start a month early. If you are taking the DALF exam, you should start studying much earlier.

This way, you will know how much time you need to study and you will be in the best possible mindset on the day of the exam.

If your French classes are particularly difficult, you will also need to focus early and prepare with a French teacher. Practice with your French teacher and give yourself enough time to really get a handle of the material.
Get a full night’s rest before the DALF test. Rest so your mind needs can be at ease in order to perform well on the day of the DALF test.
