Next week I am taking the DELF B2 and I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice. One problem I forsee is with the listening comprehension. I have a problem where I can understand most of what I hear in French but I can't remember it after. This will cause problems with answering the questions after listening to the audio part. I have used the Reussir le DELF B2 study guide and have looked at the website ciep.fr. Can anyone tell me what more I should do or what I can do to succeed on the listening comprehension? Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated.

Take notes as you listen! It's okay if you can't write down everything you hear; just jot down keywords and basic points. For example, if they happen to be talking about the sale of cars, then just quickly scrawl "vente des voitures" on your sheet. Also, listen for specific names in the case of interviews! Sometimes they will be interviewing a representative from a certain organization. Make sure you write down his name (it's okay if you don't spell it right; just write what you hear) and the name of the organization he represents.
I used this strategy for all my French exams, and even used it for my DALF C2 exam (which I passed).

Thank you very much. They gave us scrap paper at the test so I was able to take some brief notes. Thanks for replying.
