DELF / DALF (France Éducation international)

What it actually is

The French ministry body that owns the DELF and DALF diplomas publishes sample papers, audio files and marking criteria for every level for free. Even if you never sit the exam, a past paper is the cheapest honest assessment of where you actually are. Sitting the exam itself costs money and must be booked through an approved centre; the site is bureaucratic to navigate.
