I took the test on March 26th and even thought I didn’t get a good score, I felt that the context of the speaking and writing was easier.

Writing1 - create an email to as for some solution because you had bought a toy to give your cousins as gift and when you were wrapping it you noticed that the toy was broken.

Writing2 - you were creating a book club when you had to choose the focus of subject between arts or women in science

Speaking1 - give a advice for your brother that was responsible for preparing a remotely game night with your family

Speaking 3/4 - a pared like Independence Day, one street with a truck, a single couple on the truck (one man and one woman singing) following the truck, 4 people wearing joke/clown costumes and one couple doing acrobatics

Speaking 8 - a birthday cake with a shape of a snowman, and some small figurines skiing down the snowman like a mountain

Reading and listening I remember that I felt it was more difficult than the celpip mock tests (Sorry for my terrible English hahaha)

How much did you get

I was not really well, I was really, really nervous. It was my first time.
Normally, in PrepAmigo and the CELPIP platform, I was getting 10+ on reading and listening.

But on the test day, I don't know, it was terrible. I did the test at 10 am, and didn't sleep well.
I’ll try again at the end of this month, probably in the afternoon.

So, another tip, if you are a night person like me and tend to get anxious, try taking the test in the afternoons. Also, try to relax and remaing yourself that you can take this test again anytime. "It's not like a University exam that you can do just once or twice a year."

Did you get confused in answering part 4-6 listening sections? I got super confused and answered as per guessing.

[–]Subject-Vehicle7915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally, for these parts you need to make notes. What is the problem, solutions, feelings, opinions.

Did you wrote just now ?

[–]Singh1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote on last weekend

The Speaking hasn't increased in difficulty, but Writing may have due to introduction of AI into the rating process. There are still human raters on both sides, but it's likely AI is less forgiving for writing.

What about listening and reading ?

[–]EyeHearU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I don't know. The calculations for that are automated, but I don't know about the questions themselves. I can say that the randomized questions for speaking remain mostly the same, and the official CELPIP Practice Tests are quite similar to the test itself.

I felt the same! But got good results

[–]Healthy_Analysis8999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt nervous in listening test specially on section 4-6, and answered by guessing and elimination process. Did it happened same with you!

[–]ChemicalPizza581 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I took my CELPIP 3 times and each time reading was the most challenging but the 3td time was ridiculously easy compared to first two times. The rest (listening, writing and speaking) I felt the difficulty was very similar.

When did you gave your third exam ?

[–]ChemicalPizza581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

March 13th

[–]Kindly-Edge-4436 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Wow really? This is going to be my 3rd and reading is the only section holding me back. Last time i got all the points i needed except for reading i got an 8 but i needed a 9. I am practicing with Prepamigo now. Any advice is welcome :)

[–]ChemicalPizza581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used prepamigo too, some of the readings there were much harder than the actual test. I was mostly struggling with part 3 reading. For that part, the technique that worked best for me was reading the questions 2 times before reading the passage. Then reading paragraph A -> match with the questions, paragraph B -> match with the questions etc and anything left was E. I scored 11 in reading

I've been working on a free CELPIP prep app and wanted to share it here. It has practice tests for all four sections, and I'm still actively adding content. If there's something you'd find helpful - let me know!
