Questions
Is this the official exam?▾
No. CIPLE is set and marked by CAPLE at the University of Lisbon, and you register with them or with an approved centre. This site is preparation only and issues no certificate.
Do I need CIPLE for Portuguese nationality?▾
You need to prove Portuguese at A2 or above. CIPLE is one of the ways, and CAPLE’s own FAQ names it as the minimum level for nationality. There are two others, and they are compared on a separate page — including when the free one is the better choice.
What is the pass mark?▾
55% overall. CAPLE publishes that single threshold and nothing else; several preparation sites also claim a minimum in each component, but CAPLE does not say so, so this site does not treat it as a rule.
Is the speaking part really practised?▾
You record your answers to the three official parts and they are marked. It is not a pair exam with a live examiner — nothing online is — but it is closer than a list of topics to think about.
Which Portuguese?▾
European Portuguese. The vocabulary, the spelling and the recordings are the Portuguese of Portugal.
