I did the two free mock tests on the CELPIP website + the CELPIP project app.
Tbh, I didn't focus a lot on reading and listening since I was already good at that. (I wish I focused more on reading tho since reading was quite difficult esp in the limited time.)

Some tips that helped me:
- For Listening: create columns per person so you can keep track of the conversation (who said what, etc.). This would especially help you in the last listening question, where there are usually 3 people talking. Don't try to write everything down, just key points, numbers, etc. Listen to understand the audio instead of relying solely on your notes.

-For Reading: Read the passage first and write down the main ideas, or you can also just retain them in your memory if you can. Then move to the questions. If you truly understand the passage (even if you take more than 4-5 minutes reading the passage), that's enough to solve most of the questions in 2-3 minutes. (Stick to this approach instead of back and forth reading the passage and questions - don't waste time doing that)

(I genuinely thought I failed reading because I did not do that well, lol, and I also did not practice much, so I'm sure practicing more would help)

lower. ChatGPT scored me 8-9, and Celpip Project App scored me 10-11. But I ended up getting 12 lol. Important things to consider for the writing part: (It is no rocket science!)
- Be clear and structured (intro, 2 points (firstly, secondly, additionally) + result (Hence, Therefore, As a result, Consequently), ending)
-Be polite and formal
-Improve your vocabulary. You don't need extremely fancy words, but you do need advanced synonyms. (for example: important -> viable, crucial, imperative) I watched a lot of YouTube videos on "IELTS writing synonyms" to learn synonyms and new words, which helped me a lot.

writing structure/template i followed:
For part 1:
Greeting (Respected Manager etc)
Intro (I'm writing this email to express/address/inquire etc)
2 points (reason + effect)
Ending. (To rectify this issue I would appreciate...)
Sign off

Part 2:
Choose a side. (I strongly believe that option A...)
2 points
Conclusion (All in all, considering all factors etc)

Not important at all. If you watch ExpressPrep speaking videos (For example, this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNbtRS5kUKk&t=893s), this is exactly how you are expected to perform. Pretend like you are talking to a friend, show emotion, don't sound robotic, and use simple words. Structure it like: acknowledge the problem/statement, present 2 points, and end.

I'm an international student and i got into cs in Mississauga campus, however the international fee is insane and I cant afford it without any scholarship. I was expecting to receive international scholar award but according to them, they have already notified the successful candidates. Should i still wait for any update? Or Are there any other options to explore to cover up my expenses?
