CELPIP: successful re-evaluation!

[Rosalie87]

Hi everyone,

this is just an information for anyone who isn't happy with their CELPIP-G test scores:

I was a little disappointed when I received my scores a few weeks ago (did the test in January), because my Writing test was worse than the other 3 categories:
Listening 12 - Reading 11 - Speaking 10 - Writing 8

The scores meant that I was missing out on a total of 35 points for my EE profile.

So I had CELPIP re-evaluate the Writing test and my result was changed from 8 points to 11 !!!!!!!
Listening 12 - Reading 11 - Speaking 10 - Writing 11

That's a pretty impressive change and definitely an encouragement for people who feel that something could have gone wrong with their test to do the re-evaluation. Because apparently there's a chance for errors on their end... Which obviously doesn't mean that they make those mistakes all the time.

I had to pay $55 for the re-evaluation but I'm now getting a refund for that

Good luck!

Would you recommend for re-evaluation or may I reappear.

@ee2015: It took them 3 weeks.

@tankthinks: Not really, I only did the practice test online because I felt pretty confident... There's books and preparation courses though, don't know if that's worth doing.

@Champ16: That's a weird score. You're not even eligible to apply for EE with this score, right? I would get them to re-evaluate the Reading part - unless you think that they're probably right with their evaluation for some reason. As I said, there seems to be a possibility for errors on their end. My result must have been simply wrong before, you know? But the re-evaluation is not a guarantee that the score changes. So it could happen that it's basically $55 down the drain.

By the way, I did the test in Vancouver with "Paragon Testing".

@Rosalie87: Thank you so much for this thread which inspired me to request a successful re-evaluation.

Originally I had straight 12s except for writing where I got 9. I'm no Shakespeare but was surprised and disappointed by the 9. However I objected to paying for a re-evaluation when I felt that CELPIP should have marked the test properly first time.

You made me realise there is subjectivity in marking the writing (and speaking) tests and that there was hope my grade would improve/re-evaluation fee would be refunded.

It worked! My writing test score has increased from 9 to 10 so three extra points for my EE profile. Thank you

Hey guys,

does anyone know if a score for the re-evaluation comes back lower, do you have to use that re-evaluated score for the PR application, or can you use whichever is higher?

I am considering applying for the re-evaluation, but am worried if a re-evaluation is unsuccessful.

Thanks!

You will have to use the revised scores - the original score won't be valid if it is changed in re-evaluation. I imagine that the scores either remain the same or go up on re-evaluation (at least that's how IELTS works).

Thanks Asivad Anac! This is for CELPIP.

I looked at the research article on the CELPIP reliability. It was interesting to see that the reliability of writing and speaking assessment was only 0.70, which is not very high reliability coefficient. That's why all those successful reassessments occur.

I had to do the ielts test again as my original had been 2 yrs ,on first test in my home country I got 9/9 for speaking in this test here in Canada I got 7.5/9 and did nothing different English being my first language and same criteria how could it vary so much I guess I should have questioned it

Hi guys,

I am trying to check the information related to re-evaluation. I have received the below score in CELPIP ...

Listening - 11
Reading - 11
Writing - 8
Speaking - 6

I need minimum of 7 in all modules to apply under CEC. is there any chance to get 7 in re-evaluation or I need to write the exam again ?

Please suggest !!

Thanks for the info. I just went ahead and applied for a re-evaluation for my speaking part too. Although I knew it didn't go that well, but I was hoping on scoring atleast a 9 and not an 8.
Here were my results:

Listening - 12
Reading - 10
Writing - 9
Speaking - 8

I went to Paragon Testing as well.
