## FAQ

**What is Prep2Go?**
Prep2go is an exam preparation platform for immigrants and expats preparing for official language exams in Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy (CIPLE A2, DELE A2, DELF, CELI, and related levels). Those exams are used for citizenship, residence, work, study, and other administrative requirements depending on each country’s rules. You enter your exam date, current level, and available study time. The platform builds a personalized day-by-day preparation plan covering all exam sections.

**Which exams does Prep2Go support?**
Prep2go focuses on CIPLE A2 (Portugal), DELE A2 (Spain), DELF (France and other francophone contexts), and CELI (Italy). The exact exam and level you need depends on your pathway — nationality, residence, work, or study — so confirm with official requirements for your situation.

**Is there a free trial?**
Yes - start a 7-day free trial, cancel anytime. Try the full platform before deciding whether to continue on a paid plan.

**How much does Prep2Go cost?**
Prep2go costs $12.99/month (launch discount). There is a 7-day free trial with full access — no charge if you cancel before the trial ends. A mock test pack (5 runs, no account required) is available for $6 one-time. A free tier with limited exercises is available without signup.

**What is the 25% trap in CIPLE A2?**
The 25% trap is the number one reason people fail CIPLE A2 even with high overall scores. You need 55% overall AND a minimum of 25% in each individual section (Reading+Writing, Listening, Speaking). For example: if you score 100% in Reading, 100% in Writing, but 24% in Listening - your overall score is 74% but you still fail because Listening is below 25%.

**What is the pass mark for CIPLE A2?**
55% overall (grade: Suficiente). You must also achieve a minimum of 25% in each of the three components: Reading+Writing, Listening, and Speaking. Scoring below 25% in any single component means failing the entire exam, regardless of your overall score.

**How long does CIPLE A2 preparation take?**
8-12 weeks for most students with basic knowledge of Portuguese. Complete beginners (A0) need 12-16 weeks and 100+ hours. Basic level (A1) needs 8-12 weeks and 80-100 hours. Those near A2 level need 6-8 weeks and 60-80 hours.

**Does the CIPLE certificate expire?**
No. The diploma issued by CAPLE has no expiry date. For citizenship or residence applications, follow current AIMA guidance; administrative checklists can change, but the certificate itself does not expire.

**Can I take the CIPLE exam outside Portugal?**
Yes. CAPLE authorised centres exist in over 35 countries including Spain, France, Germany, the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and Japan. International sessions typically run in May, July, and November.

**How is Prep2Go different from Duolingo or Babbel?**
Unlike Duolingo or Babbel, Prep2go is exam-focused preparation for people with fixed test dates and specific pass requirements. Language apps teach broadly. Prep2go is laser-focused on one goal: passing your citizenship or residency exam on a specific date. Every exercise is exam-format, every word is high-frequency, every session simulates real test conditions.

**What changed in France for residency in 2026?**
As of January 1, 2026, France now requires DELF A2 (or TCF equivalent) for multi-year residence permits. Previously, applicants only needed proof of enrollment in language training. The requirement for the 10-year residency card was also raised from A2 to B1, and the citizenship requirement from B1 to B2.

**What language level is required for French citizenship?**
For French citizenship applications, a DELF B2 level is required to demonstrate language proficiency. A DELF B1 level is generally sufficient for long-stay visas and permanent residency applications.

**Will Portugal raise the citizenship requirement to 10 years?**
Parliament approved a proposal, but the Constitutional Court rejected key provisions in February 2026. The 5-year rule remains in force. Parliament can revise and resubmit - so if you are eligible now, do not wait.

**When does the 5-year residency period start for Portuguese citizenship?**
Under Lei Orgânica n.º 1/2024, de 5 de março, the 5-year legal residency period is counted from the date you submit your initial residence permit application, not from when the permit is issued. Waiting and processing time counts toward the 5 years provided the permit is later approved. AIMA applies this rule (e.g. for Golden Visa, from the date the analysis fee is paid).

**Can I get a refund if I fail my exam?**
Conditional refund within 14 days of purchase. Requirements: completed onboarding, at least 14 study sessions, and at least 1 full mock test. We verify account activity. The 7-day free trial is the risk-free evaluation period. Submit via prep2go.study/refund-request. We respond within 3-5 business days.

**What is the pass mark for DELE A2?**
DELE A2 requires 60% overall (Aprobado). You must also score at least 30% in each of the four sections: Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking. Scoring below 30% in any single section means failing the exam regardless of your total. This is the most common reason candidates fail.

**What are the DELE A2 exam sections and duration?**
DELE A2 has four sections: Reading (60 min), Listening (35 min), Writing (45 min), and Speaking (12–15 min). Each section is worth 25% of the total score. Minimum 30% required per section.

**What are the DELE A2 exam dates in 2026?**
Official DELE A2 sittings in 2026: February 16, April 20, May 17, July 12, October 19, November 23. Registration deadlines are approximately 6 weeks before each session. Register at examenes.cervantes.es.

**Does DELE A2 expire for Spanish citizenship?**
No. DELE A2 certificates do not expire and remain valid permanently for Spanish citizenship applications.

**Do Latin American citizens need DELE A2 for Spanish citizenship?**
Yes. Despite Spanish being their native language, citizens of Latin American countries must pass DELE A2 to apply for Spanish citizenship. They qualify for the 2-year residency route instead of the standard 10-year route. Only the CCSE civic knowledge exam has an exemption for native speakers — DELE A2 does not.

**What is the CCSE exam and is it separate from DELE A2?**
Yes, CCSE (Conocimientos Constitucionales y Socioculturales de España) is a separate exam testing civic knowledge about Spain. Both DELE A2 and CCSE are required for Spanish citizenship naturalization applications. They are registered and taken separately.

**What is the CIPLE A2 exam structure?**
CIPLE A2 has three sections: Reading & Writing (45% of score, 90 min), Listening (30% of score, 30 min), and Speaking (25% of score, 10–15 min partner interview). Total exam time is approximately 2 hours. Allow up to 4 hours on exam day for logistics and breaks.

**What are the CIPLE A2 exam dates in 2026?**
CIPLE A2 sessions in 2026 are scheduled for May, July, and November. Registration typically opens 3 months before each session. Register at caple.letras.ulisboa.pt.

**How much does it cost to take the CIPLE A2 exam?**
The CIPLE A2 exam fee is approximately €72–€85 depending on the test center and country. International centers may charge slightly more.

**Can I take CIPLE A2 outside Portugal?**
Yes. CAPLE-authorised exam centers operate in over 35 countries, including Spain, France, Germany, the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and Japan. International sessions typically run in May, July, and November.

**Is CIPLE A2 the same as DIPLE?**
CIPLE is for A2 level (the level required for Portuguese citizenship). DIPLE is the B2 diploma. For Portuguese citizenship and most residency applications, CIPLE A2 is the required exam.

**What is the difference between DELE A2 and CIPLE A2?**
DELE A2 is the Spanish exam (Instituto Cervantes) required for Spanish citizenship. CIPLE A2 is the Portuguese exam (CAPLE) required for Portuguese citizenship. They are separate language exams for separate countries.

**Which European citizenship exam is easiest?**
Candidates typically find CIPLE A2 harder due to European Portuguese pronunciation. DELE A2 is considered more accessible because Spanish sounds more familiar to many learners. CELI and DELF have different scoring rules (CELI's carry-over policy is an advantage for resits). Difficulty depends heavily on a candidate's native language background.

**What is the best Anki deck for CIPLE A2?**
The Prep2Go CIPLE A2 Anki deck has 1,600 words in European Portuguese (PT-PT) — the largest citizenship exam deck available. Organized by CAPLE exam themes. Includes native audio and example sentences. Download at prep2go.study/shop.

**What is the best Anki deck for DELE A2?**

**What is the best Anki deck for DELF A2?**
