Free Portuguese level test with certificate

The Science of Apps Portuguese Level Certificate is a free 30-minute online test of grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening that places you on the CEFR scale from A1 to C2, accepting both Brazilian and European Portuguese. You get your level instantly and a verifiable certificate for your CV and LinkedIn. It is not Celpe-Bras or CAPLE. A free skills credential for your CV, LinkedIn and job applications. Not proctored, and not accepted for visas, immigration or university admission.

Yes. Taking the test, receiving your certificate as a PDF and by email, adding it to LinkedIn and having it verified are all free, with no sign-up. The certificate states your level on the CEFR (for example CEFR B1). It has a credential ID and QR code anyone can check.

No. A free skills credential for your CV, LinkedIn and job applications. Not proctored, and not accepted for visas, immigration or university admission. If an embassy, university or regulator asks for a language test, take the one they name.

Each test has 4 questions at every level, one per skill, so it can tell what you handle comfortably and where you start to struggle. Your level is the highest one at which you answer at least 3 of its 4 questions correctly, as long as you got at least half right at every level below it. If no level qualifies, the result is below A1, with no certificate.

Grammar, Vocabulary, Reading and Listening: Grammar (verb forms and tenses, sentence structure and agreement, complex and formal structures); Vocabulary (everyday words, workplace and topic vocabulary, idioms and precise meaning); Reading (signs, notices and messages, main ideas and detail, inference, attitude and tone); Listening (numbers, times and facts, announcements and conversations, implied meaning and tone).
