AS & A Level Portuguese (9718) — real past-paper questions, marked by AI
A Level Portuguese (9718) runs across three components, pairing close reading comprehension with a substantial set-text literature paper. The reading questions test vocabulary in context across named texts (Texto 1 and Texto 2) and include grammar work such as sentence transformation, while the set texts range from José Lins do Rego's O Moleque Ricardo and Ariano Suassuna's O Auto da Compadecida to João Tordo's As três vidas and Agustina Bessa-Luís's A Sibila.
This hub holds 122 real 9718 questions from 9 papers set between 2023 and 2025. Reading comprehension and vocabulary in context on Texto 1 lead the topic table, with the set texts on O Moleque Ricardo and O Auto da Compadecida close behind. Answer online and the AI examiner marks it instantly against the real Cambridge mark scheme — for reading and grammar questions it shows the precise point you scored, and for set-text essays it places your argument in the level the scheme describes.
Work on the close-reading and grammar questions first, then build up to full set-text essays — the hub is free, with no signup or card required.
