Tutorial: Your first week on CIPLE Ready
6 min read Updated 2026-08-31
The goal of week one is not to learn all of Portuguese — it's to find out exactly where you stand and build a daily loop you can sustain until exam day.

Day 1 — Set your exam date
On the dashboard, set your exam date (or your target month). The countdown turns vague intentions into a schedule. Then let the onboarding tour show you around — it takes a minute.

Day 1 — Take the grammar diagnostic
Grammar → Diagnostic: 20 questions, ~5 minutes, one per module. You'll get a ranked list of weak modules — that list is your grammar syllabus for the coming weeks.

Day 2 — Run a baseline mock exam
Take mock exam 1 (included free) in one sitting. Don't aim to pass — aim to experience the format: the shared 75-minute reading+writing clock and the strict twice-only listening audio. Note your percentage; it's your baseline.

Days 3–7 — Start the daily loop
A sustainable session is 30–45 minutes:
①one grammar session in your weakest module → ② one vocabulary mode in the current set → ③ one reading text or listening exercise, alternating days → ④ twice this week, one writing task with an AI check.

Day 7 — Read your dashboard
Look at the readiness score and the module tiles. Mock exams (30%) and grammar (20%) move the score most — and results count, not just what you opened — so if either is lagging, next week leans there. Streak alive? That's the real win of week one.
Consistency beats intensity: 30 focused minutes daily outperforms a 4-hour Sunday binge. The streak counter isn't decoration — it's the strongest predictor of finishing your prep.
