Structure of the Level A1 Portuguese exam
It consists of 4 parts:
Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing

Listening (Duration 30-40 minutes)
The listening exam consists of 2-4 exercises, each of which is based on an audio recording that can be a monologue or a conversation between 2 or more people. Exercises include: multiple response, sentence completion, completion of charts, graphs or diagrams, and short answer in one or two sentences.
Example reading comprehension task
Identify the situation and/or main idea. Type of text: series of five short independent monologues or dialogues, for example: adverts, messages, short conversations, etc. Type of task: the students must choose the correct image from the three options provided to them.
Reading (Duration: 30-40 minutes)
It consists of 40 questions grouped in 3 sections. Each text is 100-150 words long and several questions are asked about it. The texts are basic and fictional, and have been specially designed for the test. The type of questions, as in the oral part, vary widely: multiple choice, completing tables, graphs or diagrams, or locating information in the text.
Example of reading comprehension
Find predictable factual information in texts such as signs, advertisements, schedules, menus with some visual support. Type of text: signs, advertisements, etc., on an everyday topic with visual support. Type of task: multiple choice based on short texts that focus on certain information. The correct answer must be chosen.
Writing (Duration: 30-40 minutes)
This part consists of two short essay exercises between 30-60 words. Usually a piece of information is presented very briefly (a couple of lines), followed by a statement about it, and then the candidate is asked to explain whether they agree or disagree with the statement, briefly stating the necessary arguments.
Speaking (Duration: 10-15 minutes)
In this last part, a conversation is held with an examiner, and it is designed to be as realistic as possible. It is divided into 2 subsections. In the first, the candidate responds to personal, family and/or everyday questions. In the second, the examiner and the candidate hold a basic conversation on a specific topic, where oral interaction and discussion skills are assessed. The entire part is recorded for later review purposes.
