"Ele passou no teste."

Translation: He passed the test.

I am from Brazil, "Passar no teste" means to be succeed on the test, "Passar o teste" means to give the test to someone.

Obs.: I am still learning english, so please ignore possible mistakes.

Don't worry my Latino brother. I am from Puerto Rico so English isn't my native language either.

Thanks. I would not have understand that without your note.

Excellent ! Thanks for this "dica".

[AdrianoGarcez]

Why "He's passed the test" is incorrect?

[Paulenrique]

It is translated the same way.

[AdrianoGarcez]

Ok, but why Duolingo says it's incorrect?

[Paulenrique]

Just report =)

[AdrianoGarcez]

That's what I wanted to know, if it's correct. Thanks.

"Ele passou no teste" seems to me an unusual construction. "Ele passou o teste" seems more usual.

[Paulenrique]

Really? Maybe in Portugal. Passar no teste = to be succeed. Passar o test = give it to someone.

I was too quick to comment. Phrases without context seems strange sometimes.
BTW by entering an expression or phrase in the search box at the website http://www.linguee.com.br/, the expression or phrase is returned with multiple contexts and applications in many different sentences--very helpful.

[MailyGuimaraes]

Agreed, it should definitely be " Ele passou no teste"

"Passar no teste" means to succeed. Could "passar o test" simply mean to take the test?

[ZuMako8_Momo]

Idk about Brazilian Portuguese, but in EP we would simply say, «Fiz o teste.» from the infinitive «fazer».

[Lng52-._]

Are "teste" and "exame" the same?

[ZuMako8_Momo]

Just as much as "test" and "exam" are, yes
