Planning your CELPIP® preparation

How to plan preparation from a diagnostic rather than a calendar, and how to check that it is working. Every figure links to its source; nothing here is a template to reuse.

  1. How to structure your CELPIP® preparation, from target to test day

    · celpip9 team

    How to plan CELPIP® preparation: start from your program's target, test early, work on the biggest gaps, rehearse the mechanics, then check your progress again.

  2. How long to prepare for CELPIP®: decide from a diagnostic, not a calendar

    · celpip9 team

    No length of CELPIP® preparation fits everyone. Measure the gap in each component with a timed practice test, practise to close it, and check again before booking.

Reading about it only gets you so far

The test drive puts every mechanic in front of you once — single-play audio, the live word count, the recorder that starts and stops on its own. It is untimed, unscored, and it does not use a test from your quota.
