Has anyone done the dele?
Hello, I am doing a DELE diploma A2 at the end of this month and I have some questions about it. I would greatly appreciate if someone with experience could help me please. I am doing this in my own spare time so I have no teacher that I can ask.
http://diplomas.cervantes.es/docs/ficheros/201001210001_7_2.pdf this is the link to the sample A2 paper, (hope it works)
The first question I have refers to the sample exam "expresión e interacción escritas"- tarea 1 (pg 17) = do you have to change the phrasing completely of the instructional sentences (the "Hay plazos libres en algún equipo"....etc ones)?
and if so how much do you have to change them?
My second question also refers to this section, tarea 2 and 3. When it says "entre 70 y 80 palabras", do you have to stick closely to this, i find it hard to stay within this limit and end up writing maybe 100 words normally. I can write fast so time won't catch me if i write too much but I am wondering could I be penalised for this?
Also if anyone has done the DELE at any level, how was it in general?
Thank you in advance!!

I have done dele last year, and its not that hard! though I think it is true that it is getting more and more harder...I think the one I took was B1...
anyways, I an not sure about the word count question of yours, but I do recommend that you solve all the questions for the previous dele of the level that you are taking the actual test, because it will help you greatly. and it surely gets you the sense of what dele is like. 
oh and as for 'solving', you know it includes learning word usages and some idiom-like phrases in previous tests as well, right?
mmm.. in my opinion, dele wasn't too hard, and the atmosphere in the testing area wasn't that uncomfortable or anything.
Sorry for not being so helpful :( but
BUENA SUERTE XD
