CELPIP RE-EVALUATION 2017

[lfeng]

Hi,

I just received my CELPIP test score yesterday, and it appears to be 8 8 8 6(S), does anyone who had successful revaluation experience can advise whether should I do the revaluation and is it possible for me to get a 7 after it?

Appreciated.

Go for it, it's just another 65 dollar. Not a big deal, keep us posted!

Hey any updates, increase after reevaluation?

Hey everyone.

I just got my test results from Celpip today. The marks were: 12, 12, 9, 8 (L, R, W, S). I decided to order a re-evaluation on both W & S.

I am very frustrated with these results, to be honest, as I am sure that my speaking was actually worth more than that. I heard a few people saying that Celpip usually gives you lower scores in speaking if you are not a native speaker - even if you are fluent. Maybe it is just a hoax, maybe not. But I have decided to not spend money on another CELPIP exam. $140 in preparation materials, $115 in re-evaluation costs plus the price of exam is just too much. Since I am hopeless that they will raise my grade, I just applied for IELTS a few minutes ago and will take it next week.

Well, if I am lucky to get my grade raised, will surely let you all know.

Thank you, buddy!

But re-evaluation did not work. They kept the same scores L12 R12 W9 S8.

Going for IELTS now.

Hi everybody,

I took the CELPIP test in December 2017 for the first time but couldn't score 9 in each so I retook it 2 weeks ago.
I've got the score now and it's: L9, R11, W8, S8.
I'm sure that in Speaking I did better than 8 but unsure about the Writing. I at least need 9 in each.
Can anyone advice on applying for reevaluation in Writing and Speaking?

Thanks in advance!

Hey,

Just like I said above, there was not any change for either my S or W, even though I am certain that I deserved better on both. So, I spent 115 dollars on nothing. But you may be luckier.. Try it! I would advise trying IELTS if you need to go for a second attempt.

Good luck!

In October I applied for both Speaking and Writing. Writing boosted to 9 but Speaking stayed on 8.

I decided to give it a try and paid 115 bucks. I guess it's worth trying because I can't retake the test until next 30 days from my previous seating.
Thanks for your advice on IELTS. I had taken IELTS in the past, although I could do well in L, R, and S I screwed the Writing part.
It seems from all the responses in this thread that CELPIP reevaluation never leads to pumping up all the components to 9.
Fingers are crossed!
Hoping for the best, especially considering the latest EE cutoff of 440.

Cheers

Yeah, I guess its more or less the story for everyone. No matter how certain you're, because the reevaluation for more than one component with scores less than 8, seems hardly boost up to 9.
I'll post my score once updated.

Mate,

I took CELPIP on April 21st, got: L12, R12, W9, S8 (speaking almost there), reevalulation didn’t change a thing.

Took IELTS on May 12th, got: L8.5, R9, W6.5, S8 (writing almost there), waiting for reevaluation.

Took CELPIP again this weekend (decided to give a last try) and with express rating, got results today: L9, R12, W8, S7. Not asking for reevaluation.

Gonna go for IELTS again now, which seems much easier and solid than CELPIP. CELPIP never again..

Hi,

It totally makes sense why you're aiming for IELTS after seeing all of your scores.
But my case is a bit different, I took IELTS twice but could only score 6 in Writing on my both attempts.
Probably my illegible handwriting and spelling errors drowned my score badly.
My IELTS scores were:

IELTS - 1st attempt: L:7.5, R:7.5, W:6, S:8
IELTS - 2nd attempt: L:8, R:7.5, W:6, S:8.5

The thing with CELPIP is that it detects spell-check and handwriting is out of scope.
But the problem with CELPIP is Speaking although I scored 9 on my first attempt with CELPIP.
Seems that CELPIP raters have high-performance standards in Speaking and IELTS has it for Writing.

I'll give one more try to CELPIP if my reevaluation is unsuccessful because I've paid for its online material and I ain't used to handwrite anymore.
If things still don't work out then I have to take IELTS as you've suggested.

Thanks yet again for your advice.

I definitely agree with you that reevaluation should always be tried. There is always a chance.

I don’t have any idea of how my writing was this bad in IELTS, but it still seems to be closer for me to reach a desired mark than CELPIP.

Good luck on it and keep us posted!!

You were so close in your second attempt. Did you requester EOR (Re-evaluation) for your Writing? They are not too keen on giving 7s there but my wife got 6.5 and after the EOR it boosted to 7.5 so she got a full point. If I were you I would continue on IELTS

Oh man, that is so great to read this!! I got a 6.5 and am waiting for a re-evaluation. I am sure that I did better than the grade they gave me..

Could you tell me how long it took from the day your wife applied for a re-evaluation to the day the result came out? And when was it? This month, last year..?

Wondering how long mine will take!
