CELPE-BRAS Practice Test: Simulado with AI Feedback

The best way to prepare for CELPE-BRAS is to simulate real exam conditions. Our practice tests replicate the actual exam format — 4 timed writing tasks with authentic triggers — and provide detailed AI feedback so you can identify and fix weaknesses before exam day.

Why Mock Exams Are Essential

Research on exam preparation consistently shows that practice testing is the single most effective study strategy. Taking mock exams under timed conditions builds the time management skills, stress tolerance, and genre familiarity that separate candidates who pass from those who don't. Simply reading about the exam is not enough — you need to experience the pressure of producing four complete texts in three hours.

Mock exams also reveal your specific weaknesses. You might think your writing is strong until you see AI feedback pointing out that you consistently miss the communicative purpose, use the wrong register, or run out of time on Task 4. Each practice test gives you actionable data about exactly where to focus your remaining study time.

How Our Practice Tests Work

Our CELPE-BRAS simulado mirrors the real exam experience as closely as possible, with the added advantage of immediate AI feedback.

1

Choose Your Test Type

Select from full 4-task mock exams, individual task practice, or genre-specific sessions. Full exams take approximately 3 hours — schedule them when you can focus without interruption.

2

Read the Trigger Material

Each task presents authentic trigger material — a text, audio description, infographic, or scenario — along with a specific writing instruction. Read the trigger and instruction carefully before starting to write.

3

Write Your Response Under Timed Conditions

A countdown timer helps you manage your time across all 4 tasks. You have approximately 45 minutes per task. The editor supports basic formatting and shows your word count in real time.

4

Submit and Get AI Feedback

After submitting each task, our AI analyzes your text across the official CELPE-BRAS evaluation criteria: communicative adequacy, genre appropriateness, textual cohesion, and linguistic competence. You receive a score estimate and specific suggestions for improvement.

5

Review and Improve

Compare your responses across multiple practice tests to track improvement. The feedback highlights patterns in your errors — recurring grammar issues, genre confusion, or vocabulary gaps — so you can focus your study efficiently.

What Each Practice Test Includes

Our mock exams are designed to match the real CELPE-BRAS format as closely as possible.

4 Writing Tasks

Each test includes all four CELPE-BRAS task types: personal communication, informational text, opinion piece, and formal document. Different genres are required for each task, just like the real exam.

Speaking Practice (Pro)

Pro users can add a 20-minute oral interview simulation after the written tasks. Our AI examiner follows the three-phase CELPE-BRAS interview structure with personalized follow-up questions.

Authentic Triggers

Tasks use realistic trigger materials inspired by Brazilian media, public campaigns, news articles, and social situations — the same types of materials that appear in actual CELPE-BRAS editions.

Detailed AI Feedback

Each response receives analysis on 4 official criteria: adequacy (did you address the communicative purpose?), genre (did you follow the correct format?), cohesion (is your text well-structured?), and linguistic competence (grammar, vocabulary, spelling).

How AI Feedback Works

Our AI has been trained on the official CELPE-BRAS evaluation criteria published by INEP. When you submit a response, it analyzes your text for communicative adequacy (did you achieve the stated purpose?), genre control (did you use the correct format and register?), textual cohesion (are your ideas logically connected?), and linguistic competence (grammar, vocabulary range, spelling).

The feedback is specific and actionable. Instead of just saying 'improve your grammar,' the AI identifies exact sentences with errors, explains the rule, and provides a corrected version. It also highlights what you did well, so you know which strengths to maintain.

Tips for Getting the Most from Practice Tests

  • Simulate real conditions: turn off your phone, close other tabs, and commit to the full 3-hour session. Practicing in a distracted environment builds bad habits.
  • Do not use a dictionary or translator during the test. On exam day, you will have no reference materials. Build the habit of working with the vocabulary you have.
  • Time yourself strictly. If you spend 70 minutes on Task 1, you will rush Tasks 3 and 4. Practice allocating approximately 45 minutes per task.
  • Read your feedback carefully and take notes. The same errors often appear across multiple tests. If the AI flags register issues three times, that is your priority study area.
  • Take at least 3-4 full mock exams before the real test. Research shows that candidates who complete 4+ practice tests score significantly higher than those who only do 1-2.
