[French] exam tests, and language exam center, dates

Hello people, I have three questions.

1)First, I checked the delf dalf site and the earliest date to subscribe for exam in A2 for example is 19.9. Isn't there anything earlier?

2)I have bought already some books to practice, but I would like to do some real tests for A2 exams (past exam subjects for example). I did this for my IELTS exams long before. Would you recommend some book with recent tests in A2 exam please?

3) Isn't there another language test center for Lausanne besides Lac Leman?

Thank you in advance.

Re: French exam tests, and language exam center, dates

Hello people, thank you for the replies. I am sorry, I thought I mentioned that above, I will edit the message. I am interested in French exams for A2 or B1. I am working intensively now to pass the exams. However I have heard that the exam has changed and I don't know any book with past recent tests, would you recommend something?

That does make a difference, doesn't it?

Although I believe that Delf and Dalf is for French only...

Re: exam tests, and language exam center, dates

On the delf website, you can try the Online tests. Plus they have a list of recommended books.

Plus several books are available at Payot, and of course much cheaper on amazon.fr

I prepare students to pass the tests, and I also use their books for my teaching even for students who do not wish to pass it, as they're quite well done.

Thank you for your replies.

I had a look at the site but they don't have many tests for practice. I will have a look at the books, thank you !

I passed my DALF in Annecy (France). It`s very close to the boarder and much cheaper.

Re: [French] exam tests, and language exam center, dates

There also is an other exam that you might want to take in consideration:

it is the "TCF" = test de connaissance de français

This one is cheaper, and you can not fail, because it's more like an evaluation test. However, it is just a comprehension test.
You are given grammar, reading and listening score.

E.G. you might be C1 in reading, but, say, B2 in listening.

Good luck
