Understanding Final Score Mechanics
🇧🇷 Celpe-Bras Consistency Law
Administered by INEP Brazil, the Certificado de Proficiência em Língua Portuguesa para Estrangeiros strictly operates on a Harmonized Competence Formula. If an examinee scores highly (e.g., 4.5) on writing but achieves a mid-tier interview score (e.g., 2.8), their ultimate government certificate is reduced to matching the *lower* mark. This guarantees uniform communicative proficiency in active environments.
🇵🇹 CAPLE Bipartite Safety Net
European Portuguese diplomas (from the University of Lisbon) implement an overall minimum barrier of **55%**. However, they prevent specialization overrides: failure to cross the **25% threshold in every single module** automatically causes the certificate to collapse into an "Insuficiente" state, even if the aggregate average was nominally passing.
