Check the videos in the link first. you could be waisting your money paying for a re-evaluation. Figure out what it was you did wrong.Wow perfect. I think you are right. It’s all about how you can answer like Canadian. That is why I was wondering that I am doing good with IELTS speaking and not with this CELPIP.
Should I still send for Re-evaluation? Just for speaking and writing?
And may be book next exam??
And one more question: why did you prefer Celpip over IELTS? Just curious. For me I suck at writing and IELTS reading.
I chose celpip for it being computerized, cheaper, more testing opportunities, and the expressed rating.
When it comes to writing I often see literal translations in non-native English speaking people. Germans are notorious for saying “see us tomorrow” because that is what they say in German.
I see a lot of people here saying “I gave ielts/celpip”. You don’t give a test/exam. You sit a test/exam. i have no idea where the idea of “giving” a test comes from. Maybe it’s a literal translation from another language?
Those examples are basic things. And it’s the basic that will get you. Don’t over analyze. Don’t try to be super advanced if your basic English isn’t where it should be. Keep it simple and correct instead of advanced and screwed up. It’s so easy to get tangled up in complex sentence constructions, and misuse of advanced vocabulary and idioms.
Over analyzing is exactly what I did first time in the writing part. I had a good answer but blew it on how I answered it.
If you understand what the question is asking of you and how the question wants you to answer, half the battle is won.
