Best DELF Oral Exam Simulator | ChatGPT vs Specialized Tools | OralPrep Review
With the rise of artificial intelligence, many tools have appeared promising to help you with French. But when it comes to preparing for an official diploma like the DELF/DALF, anything won’t do. You need academic precision.
Many students use ChatGPT to practice informal chat, but is it enough to pass the DELF? Let’s analyze the differences between a generic AI and a specialized exam simulator.
ChatGPT vs. Specialized DELF Simulator
| Feature | Generic Chatbot | OralPrep Simulator |
|---|---|---|
| Role | Conversational friend | Official examiner |
| Timing | No time limit | Real preparation and exposure time |
| Feedback | ”It is well written” | Official rubric (Lexicon, Morphosyntax…) |
| Structure | Free conversation | Interview, Interaction, and Point of view (Parts 1, 2, 3) |
Why you need to practice under pressure
The main problem in the DELF is usually not French, but time management and nerves. In Part 3 of B1, you have 10 minutes of preparation. In B2, 30 minutes. If you don’t know how to organize your ideas in that time, you will fail even if you speak well.
A reliable simulator must put that pressure on you. It must replicate the exam conditions so that on the real day you are calm and know exactly what to expect.

Conclusion
If you are just looking to “speak French”, any app will do. But if your goal is to obtain the B1, B2, or C1 diploma (for university, nationality, or work), you need a tool that measures your performance against the exact measuring stick of the exam.
OralPrep helps you improve your performance in one of the most complex parts of the test, the oral section.
