Hi everyone, has anyone started receiving their May 9th results? Thanks.

I just finished my CELPIP exam, and these were the questions I got.

Writing Task 2: Survey Response

The question was about an expensive restaurant surveying employees about uniforms. Currently, employees are required to wear black pants and a white shirt, but they have to buy these clothes themselves. Some employees suggested that the restaurant should provide a proper uniform.

Option 1: Allow employees to wear clothes of their own choice.
Option 2: Require employees to wear a uniform.

Writing Task 1: Email

You found a house for rent near a lake for the summer holidays for you and your family. Write an email to a rental agency.

You had to include:

• Introduce yourself and your family.
• Explain why you are interested in the house.
• Describe what features you need in the house.
• Ask about the cost and availability.

Speaking Tasks

1. Give tips to a newcomer to Canada on how to make new friends.
2. Talk about a time when you found or discovered an interesting place or a unique object.
3. Describe and discuss a picture of a clothing warehouse.
4. Predict the same picture.
5. Choose between candy and a protein bar for a long hike.
6. Convince one coworker to let another coworker lead the meeting and presentation.
7. Give your opinion: Employers should hire family members and close friends.
8. Describe a strange museum picture. It showed things like a paper boat, a lion inside it, and a boy sitting on the lion.

Listening and Reading were relatively easier than what we usually find on YouTube. The latest YouTube practice materials seem much more difficult. In my opinion, the real exam was not that difficult compared to those videos.

Hope this helps anyone preparing for the CELPIP exam. I will update my result as soon as I receive it. If I score well, I will share some tips. If not, I will need tips from you all, haha.

i tried hard this time, practiced relentless hours with Celtestpip app. They always give me 9-10 for writing and 8-9 for speaking. However, when i received the results, 8 for both. i am conpletely devastated and dissapointed right now. it kept 8 for 8th attempt with no reasons. If possible, can somebody recommend me any tutors who can help my case or any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

Has anyone who wrote their CELPIP on the 10th seen their results yet?

Can someone help me with tips to score higher in listening please. My only problem is I’m not good at multitasking so I always loose myself when trying to take notes and miss some important points.
Let me know if you faced this, and was able to deal with it and share what helped you.

First attempt:
April 9th:
L/R 9, S/W 8
Applied re-evaluation on April 12th, got results on April 26th. New score:- L/R9 W11 S8

Second attempt:
May 6th:
L11, R10, W/S 8
Applied re-evaluation on May 10th for speaking and on May 12th for writing. Waiting for the results. 🙂‍↕️🤞

Should have waited until I got my results for speaking. 😕

I want to share my experience that I absolutely bombed the exam.
I had clb 8 in Ielts
I gave celpip to get higher scores
But my exam was just bad
I don’t know what I did in reading and listening, it feels like I had some doubts in few questions and selected the random ones
For speaking , first task I couldn’t even speak for 60s, I spoke for 40s
There were times I repeated and corrected myself
I think I will get clb 6

L-10 R-8 w-8 S-7 kindly need help i m getting Confuse now what kind of strategy should i have to use ? This is my second attempt i need 10 in each module

Celpip may 10
Did anyone appear for morning 9 am exam ?

Hi Reddit, I gave my CELPIP in March this year and I scored 10 each in reading, listening and writing and 9 in speaking and the average score is 9. How does the calculation arrive to 9 as average when the other three have 10 as the score? Sorry if this is stupid to ask.

I am studying for CELPIP and using Claude AI and PrepAmigo for practice. It seems that I am unable to get a score higher than 9 in writing.

My question is for people who got 10+ in the writing task.
What is the actual level of writing is expected from you to get 10+ band?

Here is an email example that I wrote on PrepAmigo and scored an 8.
Did you write even more complex sentences than this?

Dear Co-living Building Manager,

I want to bring to your attention an issue we are currently facing with common areas.
Recently, many neighbors have had partners staying several nights in a row which makes common areas crowded and sometimes noisy. For example, yesterday the kitchen was crowded and it made me miss my breakfast or else I would have been late to work.

Furthermore, upon reviewing the lease agreement, the current guidelines briefly mention guests and are unclear on whether guests should be using the shared amenities. As already mentioned above, due to lack of clear guidelines this creates tension and makes the common areas sometimes unusable.

Finally, I would like to suggest refined guidelines for these situations. For starters, the shared areas like kitchen or lounge should only be used by residents living in the building. Guests who are staying several nights in a row should consider using the cafeteria which is located near the garden, furthermore the lounge may be used by guests but only during specific hours and up to three days.

I believe that the suggested guidelines above will be helpful.

Best Regards,
Anatoli

Hi everyone, I need help in finding a good 1 on 1 online Celpip General Tutor in Vancouver. I already took the test for 9 times and my highest score was L10,R7,S,8,W8 but I need all categories to be atleast 9 CLB to get our PR.

If you’ve personally taken CELPIP coaching from someone that helped you to get your target score, please share:

-Tutor/Academy Name

-Price

-How many sessions you did

-Your score improvement (before → after)

-What exactly was helpful (templates, feedback, mock tests)

Thank you

I sat for the test on May 10 and received my results on May 13. My scores are as follows:

Listening 11 = CLB 11

Speaking 10 = CLB 10

Reading 10 = CLB 10

Writing 8 = CLB 8

With these scores, my CRS will jump from 510 to 516. If I request a re-evaluation and receive CLB 9 for writing, my CRS will jump to 536.

My question: How often do scores go down during re-evaluation? And how long does re-evaluation normally take?

I will be writing my exam on the 20th of next month. I just register today and can anyone give strategy, advice and materials on how to ace it as I aim to get the maximum score

L 11
R9
W9
S9
Do they generally increase the 9 pointer score or is it more for 7/8 pointers?
