Is it worth it taking the Delf?

it depends which level of the DELF you are taking (ie A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2…). If you do anything less than B2, french universities won’t accept that you have an adequate level of french, so taking B1 is essentially pointless.

I’ve done both the B2 and C1 exams - apparently if you do them outside of france they’re a lot easier. i did my B2 in Cannes and failed, then worked at my french and passed the C1 in London.

DELF is internationally renowned - I’m pretty sure the DELF b2 is interchangeable with the the SATII, but it’ll show that you can actually speak, write, listen AND read. not just the latter.
