Portugal's official curricular references
Assessment grounded in the standards Portuguese schools use.
AlinhaPT maps demonstrated learning to the Aprendizagens Essenciais (AE) for the relevant year and subject. It also places that evidence within the broader curricular framework of the Perfil dos Alunos à Saída da Escolaridade Obrigatória.
Official curriculum alignment is a core part of the assessment, not an add-on to the report.
Aprendizagens Essenciais
Official learning references organized by year, cycle, and subject. AlinhaPT uses these references to structure what is being assessed and how demonstrated knowledge is reported.
Perfil dos Alunos
A broader curricular reference for the Portuguese education system, including shared principles, values, and areas of competence.

How AlinhaPT works
From answers to an actionable learning map.
Placement should explain more than a number. AlinhaPT organizes assessment evidence into a structure families and professionals can inspect and use.
02
Align
Map demonstrated evidence to the relevant Aprendizagens Essenciais by year and subject so the result is anchored to Portugal's official curricular expectations instead of being an isolated test score.
03
Progress
Identify strong areas, gaps, and sensible next steps so families and educators can focus learning where it will matter most.
Transparent by design
A placement assessment that shows its work.
A result is more useful when the evidence can be reviewed. AlinhaPT is designed so reports can support both learning at home and professional audit.
Q
Question-level review
Families can review the questions presented and see which responses were correct or incorrect, making knowledge gaps concrete.
✓
Auditable answer bank
Evaluators can inspect questions, possible answers, and the marked correct response to help verify assessment quality.
↗
Competency mapping
Evidence is organized around the relevant Aprendizagens Essenciais so the report connects demonstrated learning to official curricular expectations and next steps.
≠
More than right or wrong
The product is being designed to preserve useful assessment context, including how a learner answered when response-mode information matters.
Built for both sides of the conversation
Useful to families. Defensible for professionals.
For families
- Understand what your child has already demonstrated.
- See exactly where gaps appeared instead of receiving a single opaque level.
- Use question-level reporting to support targeted learning.
- Bring a clearer evidence trail into conversations with a school or evaluator.
For schools & evaluators
- Review the assessment items behind a placement result.
- Audit questions and answer keys for accuracy.
- See evidence grouped by competencies rather than only by total score.
- Use a structured report aligned to official curricular references to support professional judgment without replacing it.
Portugal first
Built around the educational context learners are entering.
AlinhaPT's initial focus is Portugal. Assessment evidence is mapped to the Aprendizagens Essenciais and interpreted within the broader Portuguese curricular framework so families and professionals can see how demonstrated learning relates to official expectations.
Private beta is the beginning, not the final model.
We are building the assessment, reporting, evaluator review, and curriculum-alignment layers together so the product can improve without hiding how conclusions were reached.
Questions
Frequently asked.
What official Portuguese standards does AlinhaPT use?
AlinhaPT is designed around Portugal's official curricular references, especially the Aprendizagens Essenciais for the relevant year and subject. The broader Perfil dos Alunos à Saída da Escolaridade Obrigatória also informs the curricular context used to interpret evidence.
Is AlinhaPT an official Portuguese school placement decision?
No. AlinhaPT is an assessment and evidence-alignment tool. A school or authorized professional remains responsible for any official placement or enrollment decision.
Does AlinhaPT only produce a grade-equivalent score?
No. The product is designed around competency evidence, question-level review, demonstrated strengths, gaps, and curriculum alignment rather than a single score alone.
Can a parent see which questions were missed?
That is a core reporting requirement: family reporting is designed to show the questions presented and which responses were correct or incorrect so the report can support learning after assessment.
Can evaluators audit the question bank?
Yes. The evaluator experience is designed to expose the assessment question, available answers, and the marked correct answer so content quality can be reviewed.
