How Do I Pass The DLPT?
The DLPT requires a lot of vocab “bottom up” to pass the lower levels; but for the higher levels, it requires “top down” recognition of contexts and “patterns of speech”. Students and linguists who have to translate every word do not do as well on the test as those who understand contextually.
How do I get my DLPT scores?
A: You may obtain a copy of your transcript by filling out a DLIFLC FORM 220 Request for Transcripts or a Form 420 DLPT/OPI ACE credit recommendation, located on the right side menu. We do not produce unofficial transcripts; however you may request a student copy.
