⏱ ~3-min readAceMark GuideWhat this topic is really about
To pass the DELF B1 exam, candidates must achieve an overall score of at least 50 out of 100 points. Option A is incorrect because while 25 points is half of the passing mark, it is insufficient to obtain the diploma, even though a minimum of 5 points is required per section to avoid elimination.
The DELF B1 writing section tests your ability to express personal opinions through two distinct written tasks, each requiring a length of 160 to 180 words. Option C is incorrect because a single 500-word essay is too long and demanding for this intermediate proficiency level.
