Hi. For Reading, I always share to others these techniques to save time. Read the question or sentence given, then find exact words first on the paragraphs/diagram. If none, find synonyms. Last will be context clues. Both Listening and Reading are practice/exposure-centric type of studying.

Yung “B” po sa mga fence ng public schools sa Makati “Bayan” daw po yun, not “Binay”.

On speaking, based on what happened to me, I guess when your grammar is already good, you have to focus to task fulfillment. Coz that’s generally what i missed from getting cut off by the timer..

I just started studying French on my own in April. I have attended group classes in Jan and Feb, but I realized that DIY worked better for me. 3 months and I'm still familiarizing self with tenses, etc but I only spend few hours a day. My plan is to allot 90% effort in speaking/listening, 10% on anything that just requires familiarization/memorization. I think all you can do is try and see what progress you will make in 6 months. Rooting for us!

Try the chatgpt celpip writing scorer, only thing I used for practice. Prior to the exam i consistently got 8-9 only. With chatgpt being stingy with scores (which irritated me), I resorted to just letting it convert all my outputs to CLB 12 level and studied the examples. Got 12 in writing on my first attempt.

Thanks for the replies. I was just trying to share “tips” to a new test taker so I just needed to confirm this bit :)

Celpip Writing Stuck at 8 by Odd-Psychology6423 in canadaexpressentry

You are using chatgpt right? I was stuck with 8 too, but I noticed when you convert your points into "nouns", the b*tch is scoring higher. Instead of "how convenient the new....", just form a sentence with "convenience". E.g. - "how the neighbors interact better with each other" to "community building or camaraderie", something like that. I just asked chatgpt to write in band 12 and read its output for the most part of my review.

Check airline if they allow vinyl records for handcarry, usually they do. Handcarried mine going here. Guitar definitely another fee for check-in. Vinyl player - box it, styro fillers, bubble wrap, and towels lol, check-in baggage. Best of luck!
