ACESSO (A1) — European Portuguese exam
Entry-level European Portuguese — first contact.
ACESSO is the A1-level exam in the CAPLE suite, produced by the University of Lisbon with Instituto Camões and taken in European Portuguese (PT-PT). It assesses four skills — Reading (Compreensão da leitura), Listening (Compreensão do oral), Writing (Produção escrita) and Speaking (Produção oral).
Who ACESSO is for
Entry-level European Portuguese — first contact. It suits learners who can already handle Portuguese at roughly A1 and want an honest read on whether they're ready.
Honest readiness, not a fake score
Reading and Listening are auto-marked to a clear per-skill band — Clear or Borderline — against the real criteria. Writing and Speaking get AI feedback labelled an estimate. AlmiPortuguese gives you an honest readiness estimate — a per-skill band (Clear or Borderline) against each exam's real criteria — never an invented official CAPLE result.
Reading and Listening practice is free; AI feedback on Writing and Speaking and the full timed mock unlock with a 7-day free trial ($12/month after, cancel anytime).
