Common questions
The test is completely free to take. You only pay for the certificate (from €8) if you want to download and share your result.
Most people complete it in 15 to 25 minutes. The AI adapts to your level, so you stop as soon as an accurate assessment is reached.
No. Examinizer is not an accredited exam board, so official institutions that require proof of Portuguese for visas or admissions still need an approved exam like IELTS, TOEFL, DELE, or TestDaF depending on the language. The certificate works well for employers and personal use, where an accredited exam is not required.
Both measure your overall level, but the proficiency test is designed for certification: it produces a downloadable PDF certificate with a verification QR code for €8, while the placement test is a free level check without a paid certificate option.
