Practise Celpe-Bras writing

Pick a task, write against the clock, and get feedback on your text against the criteria the exam's markers use: whether it does its job for its reader, whether it hangs together, and its Portuguese. The level it gives is a practice estimate, not an official score.

Our practice tasks

Tasks we wrote in the exam's format, each with a short text to read first. Because the text is ours, it's on the page and the feedback can check how you used it.

How the feedback works

The feedback reads your text against the exam's published criteria: adequação contextual (the right role, reader, purpose and genre), adequação discursiva (coherence and connection) and adequação linguística, and how you used the task's input. It lists up to ten corrections, each explained, and the one thing to fix first.

The level it gives is a practice estimate from an AI model, not an official score: only the exam's own markers can give you one. Use it to see what to work on, not to predict a result.

Feedback needs a free account and uses your plan's writing allowance: 3 a month on the free plan, 30 on Reader and 100 on Fluent. Writing and saving drafts are free and unlimited.
