Mark it
Listening and reading: check your answers against the « correcteur » document, which has the answers and the marks for each question.
Writing and speaking: use the AI examiner
Paste the task from the paper and your answer. It marks out of 25 and explains why. This is an estimate, not an official mark. For speaking, say your answer and type or dictate what you said.
