Portugal Exames Nacionais key facts & eligibility
| Conducting body | IAVE, I.P. (now being integrated into the new EduQA, I.P.); higher-education access is administered by DGES. |
|---|---|
| Official website | iave.pt (IAVE / EduQA) & dges.gov.pt ↗ |
| Mode | Paper-based, in person at schools; foreign-language exams add an oral component. |
| Frequency | Two phases a year — 1.ª fase in June and 2.ª fase in July (used to improve marks, sit missed exams or enter the second admissions round). |
| Scoring & marking | Exams and access classifications use a 0–200 scale (internal secondary marks are given on 0–20 and converted ×10). For higher-education access, national exams act as provas de ingresso — each degree specifies which exam(s) it requires. The nota de candidatura is a weighted combination of the secondary-school classification and the provas de ingresso (the exams must carry a mandated minimum weight, commonly 50/50, 55/45 or 65/35), and each required exam generally has a minimum of 95/200 (some degrees require 100/200). Ranking against each degree’s cut-off happens in the national admissions competition (Concurso Nacional de Acesso). |
| Score validity | National-exam results used as provas de ingresso are typically valid for the admission year and the preceding two years. |
| Language | Portuguese; foreign-language subject exams (English, French, Spanish, German) include written and oral components. |
