CELPIP Exam experience

[bmanirudh]

Hi siroccoon, Nothing is hard and easy.

Actually, CELPIP doesn't have enough materials for preparation. In fact, specially in speaking modules they have some questions where we need to listen carefully otherwise you can't give proper answer. As a result, It will affect on scores end of the day.

Whatever they mentioned online materials and sample test it is very easy whereas in actual exam it has been realized very difficulty in speaking modules specially.

It is very difficult to achieve 4L in each category. Because at least in IELTS we have enough materials through online so t we can achieve desired band ( Minimum 6 Band ).

Before taking CELPIP exam, kindly practice speaking modules it is very difficult compare to IELTS.

This doesn't hold true any more. CELPIP has numerous free webinars that you can sign up for in order to achieve the desired score. Also, their YouTube channel hosts a live session every second Tuesday with tips and suggestions on how to practice and score the required.

I want to ask recent exam takers of CELPIP. is it still unfair in providing the marks ?
I am finding IELTS exam a lot more difficult. Even in preparation I am getting .
I will really really really need 8777 for ielts, which is almost impossible for me. I have already Given it 3 times, all time it was 6.5 score. I am going to a lot of depression due to ielts. IELTS clearly see us as cash-cows. they never give more than 6 bands in writing. I used to get 8 in listening but due to depression and cognitive decline or ADHD or an increase in listening it is getting a lot more hard to get more than 7 now. f#cking british accent !!! they don't even offer in american accent, intentionally try to increase complexity the word they want to say. I f#cking hate it. I really really really need your help, Please !!!
Should I go for PTE, if the both are unfair ? I really need your recommendation.

Don't go for PTE as the margin to score CLB is 89/90 for writing. Meanin, you're allowed to make only 1 mistake. CELPIP has become better in recent times. Both my wife and I scored CLB 10 and CLB 9 in the first try back in 2023/2024! All the best!
