We've designed Fluenz French 1 to 5 so it corresponds more or less to an A2 DELF level, which means the end of the basic/elementary level (around 160 hours of classes).
These exams are quite specific, they're not so much about "formal grammar" but more about evaluating your language abilities in real-life situations. And they're based around four skills: Oral/Written understanding and Oral/Written expression.
So the Fluenz software, thanks to the diverse workouts, is a good preparation for it, but if you actually plan to take the test I would strongly recommend you to diversify your practice before.
It would be especially important to evaluate your oral expression with someone, and also to familiarize yourself with the actual form of the exam.
If you're interested here's a great link we've found where you can actually take an A2 French exam online for free (with audios and all..) check it out :)

There are also plenty of sites explaining which skills are evaluated for each exam...(typing French DELF exams on google...)
