So I took the DLPT for French this morning. It was a lot longer than I remembered. I last took the DLPT about two years ago. I didn't study at all and scored a 2+/2+.
This time around I applied myself and studied a bit and scored a 2/3 (listening/reading). I feel disappointed but I also have a much better idea of the level at which I need to be studying to score a 3/3. I will try again in November.
When I study for any language test, I do the following:
I listen to french news podcasts, as well as french weather broadcasts. I listen to plenty of news stories that have interviews--this is a weakness of mine.
I read french news and magazine articles (more so the magazine articles). I keep a database of words that I don't know and reviewed them regularly. I pay particular attention to words that had to do with: healthcare, gangs and immigration.

I am interested in challenging the test for French. How is the test set up? Do you remember specific questions?
