Questions
Can I download the Celpe-Bras past papers?
Yes, from the official sources. Each link here opens the file where it's kept: the University of Rio Grande do Sul's public Acervo Celpe-Bras, INEP, or the Diário Oficial. We don't host copies.
Which genres come up most?
In the editions listed here: Email (10), Letter (4), and Reader's letter (4).
Are there answers or model texts?
INEP doesn't publish model answers: every task is open writing, marked against a grid. INEP's Documento-base describes what the markers look for at each level.
Why isn't the latest edition here yet?
Its files are added to the archive after the exam has been sat everywhere, abroad included, and we add them once they're published.
