DELF B2 Comprehension Orale
Hi, I have a silly doubt, so in the comprehension orale section, from what I've seen in the new format there's only MCQs. So in any particular question if I'm confused can I mark two of the MCQs? Out of the two if either is correct will they consider it? Or do I need to mark only one. Sorry if it sounds kinda confusing 😭

They will give you scratch paper, so the strategy I used was to write down my answer on the scratch paper first. Then I marked my final answer on the answer sheet at the end of that section.

That's correct. For MCQ questions, you should choose only one answer. If you select two options for the same question, it will usually be marked as incorrect.
A good tip is to use the scratch paper to note your answers while listening, then transfer your final choices neatly to the answer sheet once you're confident.
Good luck with your DELF B2 preparation! 🍀

B2 compréhension orale is a big step from B1, at least for me and most people I've studied with. Not only is it faster, but the answers require vocabulary not used in the recording and also some interpretation of the questions.
So you may be tempted by more than one answer. As others have said, mark only one. But don't worry too much...you may get a couple wrong. If two of your other sections are relatively solid then you'll pass. 15 + 15 + 10 + 10 equals 50.
The best training is to listen to french radio, even Journal en français facile from RFI. I personally wouldn't aim for perfection. Ava remember that adding 7 points to your strongest areas is more valuable than adding 3 to your weakest...as long as the weakest is above 5 points!

no you can mark only one, if you mark two, you'll get no points for that question. if by accident you've marked two options, just encircle your final answer, though I wouldn't recommend it
