This C1 test checks your command of academic and formal French vocabulary. It covers precise word meanings, typical collocations, formal register, word families and the meaning of key expressions in a short academic text. It suits advanced learners preparing for university study, the DALF C1 or professional writing in French.
Use this test after work on academic writing or argumentative texts, or as a diagnostic before DALF C1 preparation. It targets common confusions between similar words (éluder/élucider, réfuter/répute), wrong verb–noun collocations (dresser des conclusions instead of tirer des conclusions) and incorrect derived forms. As a follow-up, ask students to write a short formal paragraph that reuses at least ten of the target words and collocations.
