Reading practice in the formats the exam uses
32 texts with 141 questions. The first 26 are the everyday formats the CIPLE loves; the last six are advanced tasks built like the real paper: SMS matching, public notices, longer narratives and a text with statistics.

What you get
Real exam formats
Notices, emails, ads, menus, timetables, letters and tourist information, then the advanced task types from the real paper.
Scored as a whole
Answer every question for a text, then verify. You see each answer marked and earn 15 XP.
Your history on every text
Every attempt is saved, so each text shows your best result and you can retry for a better one.
Counts toward readiness
Reading is 12% of your readiness score, and your last five results count, not just the number of texts.
Try a real text
Text 1, a notice in an apartment building, is free. Read it, then answer two of its questions.
1. Quando vai haver o corte de água?
2. O que pedem aos moradores?
How it works
- 1
Read the questions first
The number one exam strategy: know what you're looking for before you read.
- 2
Read the text and answer everything
All questions for a text are answered together; the options are shuffled each time.
- 3
Verify, then retry
See what you got wrong and try again for a better score.
Good to know
- Texts 1–3 are free.
- On the real exam reading shares one 75-minute clock with writing; the mock exams train that timing.
- Finishing all 32 texts earns the Bookworm badge.
