Portuguese A2 Citizenship Test

An unofficial practice app published by AZSoft. It does not represent any government body and is not affiliated with AIMA, the IRN, CAPLE or the Universidade de Lisboa.

Since 2026, Portuguese law (Lei Orgânica n.º 1/2026) requires proof of Portuguese language knowledge for a nationality application. You prove the level with a recognised exam: the CIPLE (A2) — Certificado Inicial de Português Língua Estrangeira — run by CAPLE, at the Universidade de Lisboa.

My CIPLE Exam prepares you for it with exercises calibrated on the official format and realistic materials built for the app.

WHAT THE APP INCLUDES

▸ Over 1000 reading and listening comprehension questions, at A2 level
▸ Natural European Portuguese audio for the listening paper, available offline
▸ Realistic documents: public notices, emails, articles, adverts, text messages, timetables, forum threads — rendered as native cards, not images
▸ Timed mock exams, with a single listening play as on exam day, and an indicative result estimate
▸ Guided writing and speaking, with model audio and a timed exam mode
▸ 596 vocabulary cards with audio and spaced repetition
▸ Smart review that spots your weak points and drills them first
▸ An estimate per component, recalculated after every session

HOW THE CIPLE IS PASSED

The CIPLE has three components, weighted differently: Reading Comprehension + Written Production and Interaction (45%), Listening Comprehension (30%) and Oral Production and Interaction (25%). The final mark gives a grade — Muito Bom, Bom, Suficiente or Insuficiente — and nationality requires a pass (Suficiente, ≥55%). The app computes your estimate on exactly that weighting, so you know precisely where to focus.

EVERY ANSWER, EXPLAINED

Each question comes with an explanation that points to the key sentence in the document (audio or text) and shows why the other options are wrong — the elimination method that counts on exam day.

THE CITIZENSHIP TEST — COMING

The law also requires a culture, history and citizenship test. Its official format has not been published yet; as soon as the implementing regulation is issued, this module is switched on as a free update.

AN INTERFACE IN 4 LANGUAGES

The interface is available in Portuguese, French, Arabic (full right-to-left display) and English. The training content stays in European Portuguese — the language of the exam.

IMPORTANT

An unofficial practice app published by AZSoft. It does not represent any government body. CIPLE is an exam of CAPLE — Universidade de Lisboa. Not affiliated with CAPLE, the Universidade de Lisboa or the IRN. The formats are those published by that body; the questions, audio, documents, explanations and task briefs are written by our team and reproduce no official exam. The app's estimates are educational — only CAPLE's official result is valid.
