Official CELPIP practice tests vs Celpip.me

Celpip.me is CELPIP preparation written and reviewed by a PhD TESOL teacher (Dr. Amir Abbas Ravaei): a ready-to-use template for each of the 10 CELPIP Writing and Speaking tasks, with a model answer, what CLB 7, 9 and 11 look like, and a sentence-starter bank for every Speaking task; exam-format practice in all four skills, and AI marking of Writing and Speaking on CELPIP's four rating dimensions with an estimated CLB level. Passes are paid once in CAD, with no auto-renew.

A study order that uses both
- 1. Take the official free sample test first. It is written by Paragon, so it shows the real screens, timing and question types. Note which skill felt hardest.
- 2. Get a CLB estimate for each skill. Celpip.me's 13-minute level test needs no account; a free account adds one full timed mock with a CLB level per skill.
- 3. Learn the template for your weakest Writing or Speaking task. Each of the 10 tasks has a fill-in template, a model answer and a CLB 7 / 9 / 11 comparison; Speaking tasks add a sentence-starter bank.
- 4. Practise with marking. Write or record answers and read the AI marking on the four rating dimensions; fix one dimension at a time.
- 5. Finish with official timing. In the last week, an official Practice Test Set (CA$35 per set) checks your timing on the real interface.
