Hi Mk Shah,
I just saw your post on your forthcoming DELF exams. Ist of all, all the best I am sure you'll do well. I also wanted to give my 2 cents as regards what areas to focus on. my impressions are on A2 coz i never sat for A1. Ist thing is probably the most obvious. Try and answer everything. My feeling is that DELF (A2). is all about your understanding. Forget grammar (not that it's not important), so even if you are not completely sure about something write the bit you can and this will earn you a 0.5 mark here and there and this do add up eventually.
The weakest link (as in the section to target for easy marks) is the comprehension ecrite. i think this is for all DELF exams so if you are well prepared, focus on that section and you can easily get 25/25 (which would only leave you with another 25 to get from the other three sections if you happen to be having a bad day- i hope this won't be the case). The next section is production ecrite. here for delf A2 you have 2 essays of about 80 words each i guess. that's not much and again, it's the same mantra, just write and write and write. here again you can easily get over 20.
comprehension orale was tricky for me even at A2 but i still got 18. they are relatively short recordings so even if you can't get everything it's pretty easy to get the gist of what they're talking about. i don't think you're as bad as i was/i'm in this section but if it's rough, try and go with the gist.
production orale, my name starts with z so when they called us into the room, i was always last for A2 and B1. i learnt something while waiting for my turn and listening to the guys before me which i think helped me in this section for both levels. this is to get the first bit right. it's where you talk about yourself et al. you can't be blind sided by this question coz it's about you so prepare to say as much as you can here even if it goes beyond the 3-5 minutes they give you. it's your chance to impress the examiner (you know first impressions...et al). if you're fumbling here, you'll probably have it rough with the questions you drew from the lots as your confidence will have evaporated and the examiner will start getting impatient with you (it's a very human thing) and this will probably make you more nervous. if you start well with the introductory part, the examiner will have more time for you even if you're fumbling with the lot questions (at least mine were on both A2 and B1).
finally (if you haven't seen it yet) here is a link with some past papers. i don't think it's all that myself but you can get the feel of what the exams really are like. the production orale is always the same except with the lot questions.
