Hello Garrett,
If you are using Windows-based machine, download and install (for free) English International keyboard (either in UK or US English). It will take a bit of adjustment to get used to, but you can use double strokes to accentuate most of characters. I use it routinely in French and Italian, and it works great, once you get past the initial consternation.
Cheers.
Heads up. Memrise has a beta of its AI chat bot available. It seems to be free for now but probably will get upcharged soon. It works fairly well and is in some ways better than ChatGPT as it provides pronunciation help along the way. I suspect that this technology will rapidly improve.
Edit: duolingo max is a similar technology.
Since several people have mentioned that the listening part of the test is the hard, I decided to practice my listening with Portuguese podcasts.
A great one I found is Portuguese with Leo which has full transcripts on the website so you can check the written version if you have trouble making out the spoken version initially.
In fact the same episodes are available as videos on youtube https://www.youtube.com/@PortugueseWithLeo
This pairs very nicely with the browser plugin https://www.languagereactor.com/. With this combination, I can listen to the video, view the Portuguese subtitles, and click on any phrases I don’t understand to immediately get an English translation.
It’s like having your own Portuguese tutor sitting next to you while you watch videos in Portuguese!
I took the test in November and passed w/ ‘Bom’ although I only received a 60 on the Compreensão do
Oral (this is the listening part of the exam). The folks at Learn European Portuguese Online have developed two sample exams and their listening section is similar to what is currently on the exam. So, if you want a feel for what is on the exam, their mock exams are excellent and can be purchased here https://www.learneuropeanportugueseonline.com/ The other sample exams that are out there including the [a] one on the CIPLE (government website) as well as the two that are [b] in the book for purchase (Exames de Portugues CAPLE-UL - CIPLE, DEPLE, DIPLE) have the old audio format that was easier.
Hope this opens up more options for online classes and REALLY hoping for a course that can replace taking the test because my test anxiety is crazy. 
Can you share some more details of the online PLA courses? Thx!
I have already applied for the online course that begin in the end of May until the end of July. Service fees are 700 Euros.
