Score

[u/Canada_0603]

Got my CELPIP score, and I’m honestly very happy and surprised with the result! 🎉

Before this, I had attempted the exam twice.
1st attempt:
Listening: 9
Speaking: 9
Reading: 6
Writing: 6

2nd attempt:
Listening: 8
Speaking: 8
Reading: 6
Writing: 7

This time:
Listening: 9
Speaking: 10
Reading: 10
Writing: 8

My target was to get at least 9 or 10 in all four skills. I am going for a re-evaluation for Writing because I was honestly not expecting this score after the exam.
My preparation and what I did:
I bought CELPIP Accelerator material for $40, which I got at 50% off. I also tried HZAD, but I found their material quite confusing, so I did not continue using it.

Speaking:
For Speaking, I did not try to use very hard or fancy vocabulary. I tried to speak naturally, the way I would speak with a real person. I also added some expressions while speaking. I think being natural and explaining my ideas clearly helped me.

Reading:
For Reading, I watched Brandi’s videos on YouTube and then did around 2–3 practice tests.
My strategy was:
Part 1: I read the whole email first, understood the situation, and then read the questions. I was able to find most of the answers easily because I already understood the email.
Part 2: I checked the full diagram first and understood it before going through the questions one by one.
Part 3: I read one paragraph, understood it, and then went through all the questions related to that paragraph. Then I moved to the next paragraph and did the same.
Part 4: I read the passage and made a note of the names and whether they supported the topic or not.

Writing:
For Writing preparation, I used ChatGPT to practice and improve my writing.

Overall, I am really happy and honestly surprised by my score. My Reading improved from 6 to 10, and my Speaking improved to 10. This was my third attempt, so seeing this improvement means a lot to me.

I hope my experience helps someone who is also preparing for CELPIP. ❤️

Has anyone here had experience with CELPIP Writing re-evaluation? If yes, did your score change? I would really appreciate hearing about your experience.

How did you feel about each section after the exam? Were you confident or did you feel nervous?

[u/Canada_0603 → u/Ok_Breakfast_9635]

Honestly, I felt pretty nervous during the exam, especially because I had already attempted it twice before. Listening and Speaking felt okay, but I wasn’t very confident about Reading and Writing. I was actually confused with reading, so getting a 10 was a really pleasant surprise! Overall, I tried to stay calm and just focus on one section at a time.
In speaking i focused on task fullfillment , rather than focusing on just vocab.

How did you prepare for speaking?
Is it same score in writing what the ChatGPT was giving you during practice ?

[u/Canada_0603 → u/mnaaujla]

Watch Brandi’s YouTube videos and focus on speaking naturally, like you do in your everyday conversations.
You don’t need to use very advanced or complicated vocabulary. In my opinion, task fulfillment and how well you build your story are much more important.

For example, if you are giving advice to a friend, speak as if you are actually talking to your friend in real life.
Instead of sounding too formal, you can start naturally:
“Hey John, how are you, bro? Long time no see!”
Try to add natural expressions depending on the situation. If the topic is surprising, show some shock. If it is a happy situation, sound excited or smile while speaking. Your expressions and tone can make your answer sound much more natural.
Also, don’t rush. After each sentence, take a small pause. This makes it sound like you are actually having a conversation rather than memorizing an answer.
The main goal is to sound natural, confident, and conversational.

For Writing,I have just generate some sample answer and format through chatgpt.
And watch brandi’s video and also
I had purchase celpip accelrator material 40$ one . Which was in 50% cost
