Hi Folks,

I am looking to increase my EE Profile score so confused which English Language exam to opt for (IELTS or CELPIP General) to score higher as I will be eligible for CEC coming May and want to increase my chances to get ITA.

I know that IELTS has enough materials online, however CELPIP is computer based test which has its very own Advantage.

If anyone has opted for CELPIP - General then kindly share your thoughts or if still IELTS is the best exam to score higher marks in all sections (L,S,R,W)

Appreciate your views in advance.. :) :)

I took CELPIP, it was easy. I was worrying about Speaking but it was fine, you just have to speak up in a very confident voice. :) It' funny how some Australians who speak English by birth, had to take the same test. They were done like in 30 minutes or less :)

Everyone that speaks English as a first language has to do it, not just Australians. Believe me there's nothing funny about paying $300 to prove that you can speak your native language.. sorry, that particular rule pisses me off

I know :) but at least you didn't have to worry about the speaking section and got highest score for each section, hence higher EE score...

That textbook they offer is more than enough to get ready for the test, imo. It's even better cause there is tons of study material for IELTS which is confusing and distracting.

Being physically present in Canada.. Do you guys think giving Celpip instead of IELTS will boost your scoring.. or viceversa..!!

Folks, Please share your views and comments which will help me to decide the suitable English Language Proficiency exam to score higher marks..!!
