Anyone working towards taking the DELF Junior B2 this summer?

I am doing self-study towards the DELF as I wasn't able to choose French as an A-level at school. Considering taking a course in France this summer leading up to the exam. Has anyone done this and has a course they would recommend?

Im self studying and taking the exam on the 26th March. Honestly I’m still kind of lost but Even if you don’t find a course there are loads of books and papers (make sure they have a markscheme and are the New format). Look on your local instituts website. In the Cambridge one they had a hybride course but I live too far away to come in person so it depends on your situation. If your in london for example then you’ll have loads of options. Look on YouTube and get familiar with how the exam works. Also you can have short intense courses in France that are said to be really good and I would have definatly tried of I had had the option.

I hope some of this was relevant/ helpful. Bonne chance

Good, thanks. I managed to pass well but was massively bought down by the writing section (can’t spell to save my life)

I hope you managed to find a course, good luck!

Well done on getting through it and not just on passing, but doing well. I'm taking it next week - if you have any last minute tips to share, I'd appreciate!

Do as many pat papers as possible and try to immerse yourself this week by watching tv and readinging a little every day. Also bare in mind how long the exams are and wether you need to work on stamina
