Interested to see a new course on offer from Say It In Portuguese (home of the very fine podcast about idiomatic expressions) which focuses on CAPLE exam technique. Bookmark that one for later…
I’m not really aware of anything similar. Even the official Instituto Camões site is quite brittle and limited with no proper test simulation, so although it’s worth taking, I pity anyone going into the exam having only done that, especially at C2/DUPLE level, because they don’t even offer that.
And I’ve added a new section about exam prep to the online learning resources page, since that seemed like a useful addition.
How is your CAPLE prep going? Do you have a date when you plan to take the exam? I’ve decided to take the B1 test in November this year. A bit soon but my tutor though I was ready. I’m working through the Português Atual 2 book right and finding it really useful. Gonna take a holiday to Portugal at the same time as the exam along with some intensive lessons there, which I’m really looking forward to!
Anyway, hope your studies are going well.

To the Algarve! It’s really nice in winter. Not too hot but it’s a sunny break from the cold British winter ><
