FAQ
Is Exampia affiliated with France Éducation international?
No. Exampia is independent. We prepare learners for DELF B1 by following published exam formats and scoring criteria, but we are not approved, certified, or endorsed by France Éducation international.
Can I try DELF B1 practice for free?
Yes. The free tier is designed to let you start with one mock-test experience before you decide whether the full practice library is worth it.
Does Exampia grade writing and speaking for DELF B1?
Exampia gives feedback organized by scoring area for production tasks. Speaking practice is included for supported exam formats, and expanding sections are labeled clearly.
How should I use the feedback before exam day?
Treat each scoring area as a practice target. If your content score is strong but accuracy is weak, your next practice set should be grammar and sentence-control work, not another untimed essay.
