The test modes

Guide

Machine translation. The Portuguese version is the one that counts.

Simulation, thematic, learning, non-stop, and the ones with the most failures: what each one is for.

There are five ways to train on this site. They all ask questions from the same bank, but they serve different moments of your preparation — and using the wrong mode at the wrong time will waste your time.

Exam simulation

It is the official exam, copied: the same number of questions, the same time, the same maximum number of errors. The clock runs, answers cannot be corrected as you answer, and you only know the result when you submit.

You can go back and change your mind before submitting, just like in the real exam. And you can submit with unanswered questions — which count as incorrect, also just like in the real exam.

Use it to measure yourself, not to learn. It is the only way that counts for the question am I ready?

Thematic test

Single-topic questions: signs, priorities, speed, your choice. No timer.

It is the way to tackle a specific weakness. If Progresso tells you that you are failing on giving way, this is where that is resolved — and from Progresso, you just need to click on the topic to go straight to the right test.

Learning mode

Shows you the correct answer and the explanation immediately after each question, without waiting for the end. No timer and no pressure.

It is the mode for those who are starting out, or for those who have reached new material. You learn to spot the error in the moment much faster than discovering it twenty questions later.

Non-stop

Go through the entire bank, from the first question to the last, without categories and without time. Save where you left off: close the site, come back tomorrow, and continue from where you stopped.

It is the mode for those who want to be sure they haven't left anything unseen. It is not to be done all at once — it is for taking small bites, on a bus journey, or during a break.

The ones I fail most

It only brings the questions you get wrong most often. It is not a fixed list: it changes as you get them right, and others will come in.

It is the most efficient mode when you have already done many tests. At that point, repeating what you already know adds nothing — what is missing is clearing out the stubborn ones.

Where to start

If you are starting from scratch: learning until the material no longer feels unfamiliar, then non-stop to see the whole bank at least once.

From there, simulation to measure where you are, thematic to correct what the simulation reveals, and the ones I fail most in the last week before the exam.

The sign that you are ready is not having done many tests. It is having passed the last simulations in a row, without luck being a factor. Progress tells you when you have arrived.
