- Thread starter tfeddy2012

Celpip has an option of get your scores re-evaluated if you aren't satisfied with them. You can apply for re-evaluation of one section or multiple sections within 6 weeks of getting your result. It costs 55+tax for an individual section. If there is any increase in your scores after re-evaluation then you will be refunded the money for re-evaluation and will be sent additional score reports.Phil89 said:
It is so strange, I have been a student in Canada for 3.5 years and my speaking score is surprisingly low 
and writing is lower that what I was expecting:
Listening: 12
Reading : 11
Writing: 9
Speaking: 6!
My TOEFL score was higher in comparison, 5 years ago (20/30) and my speaking skills is definitely improved after living here for such a long time. I am going to fill an application for re-evaluation and will keep you posted. Speaking part is not reliable and very subjective. For folks who are wondering between IELTS and CELPIP, I would suggest IELTS.

I would say go ahead and ask for the re-evaluation. I just had mine and my speaking jumped from 7 to 9. Totally worth it.
Bro.... in my opinion it depends how much time you want to spent. Time is money, as per paragon testing -
"Test takers who apply for a re-evaluation of their test results will be notified of the results of the re-evaluation within 3-4 weeks of submission of their application and payment of the re-evaluation fee."
My recommendation would be if you have sufficient time to apply for EE then go ahead and take your chances.
Otherwise, register for a new exam and hold your future in your hand.
Remember, by going for re-evaluation you are trusting and having faith in the new evaluator. And the results may be positive or negative, in addition to that time is running.
However, if you trust yourself and reappear for the exam then you have the key in your hand. And on top of that, you already have experience of CELPIP, thus for sure you will do better than earlier test.

I agree with you, there will be some chances of score reversal. Because everyone is a unique person and if your go for evaluation then it will be checked by different evaluator.
Also, remember that its not 1 but 2 evaluators check your each section.
In short, if you are 100% sure you did better than the score provided then go ahead and file for revaluation.
Historically, speaking and writing sections has most chances of score upgrade.

My sincere empathy with you harry96.
As I said earlier, its a matter of luck and judgement of new evaluators. Both are well trained but they do not get to see what was your past score.
Thus, its all about trying and timing. In case, you have sufficient time to experiment then spending $55 is fine.

I just got my results and I was also really surprised by Speaking 7 and Writing 8 =(
In my mind I was good at speaking, I bought the material from Paragon that shows records from people that got each score and in my mind I was even better than some of them that got 10 for example. I just ordered re-evaluation, so surprised that didn't even think about the time, 3-4 weeks is a lot maybe better retake the test =/

Re-evaluation usually not affecting the Listening and Reading sections because the answers are digitalized.tfeddy2012 said:
However, speaking and writing can defiantly be re-evaluated.
Just give it a try, its $50 and all what you need is a single point in speaking.
All the best.

Actually, i think i,ve not been so lucky with re-evaluation, though i took the test again and got a better score of 7 compared to my initial 6 in speaking,
again, submitted for re evaluation of both writting and speaking but the score remains unchanged. please don't let this discourage you from re- evaluation if need be. you might have a better chance than i do. on crs 440 and still hoping for a miracle before the end of the year. hanging in there - not giving up....
