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**.

## 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.

### Try the most realistic simulator

OralPrep has been designed specifically with the evaluation criteria
of France Éducation international. It is not a toy, it is your tool
to pass.

## 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.
