Celpip reading test is unnecessarily challenging. It is more of an IQ test with riddles than reading. I think celpip should focus more on straightforward reading skills testing rather than guessing games.
Same here most of my times I did celpip I scored 6 on reading . They do that so you fail and do the test again so they can stay in business . Reading shouldn’t be that hard or guessing game. They need to change that.
I would encourage anyone who is about to take the test to watch and use the strategies shared here. I did the test and got 8 for this part. I watched this and redid the test and I got my desired score. Thanks again Brandi and CELPIP for this!!!!
Excellent teaching method and in a logical way, could you please post more complex questions for a resolver that would help us crack CELPIP. Many thanks in advance.
I would like to ask one thing I have purchased a package from the official portal, and before that I was practicing through RUclips videos, at that time I was scoring 9 in both modules, Listening & Reading respectively. Nonetheless, after purchasing a package I started preparing from that package, and my marks got reduced to 6 in both modules, I found that the difficulty level was indeed high. So, in a real exam, the level would be really high as same as the practice tests that are given in the package, or would be easier? Any ideas, please reply. Thanks in advance.
Hello. Yes, the practice tests are designed to mimic the actual CELPIP Test. Kindly go through the question-by-question analyses of the Listening and Reading choices available in the package to understand more about what to expect and how to increase your score.
Hi there, I have a query regarding grammar usage in the CELPIP writing task if you may help me with it. Could we follow any style guide, such as the Oxford style guide, or is there a Canadian style guide that needs to be followed?
The CELPIP test assesses day-to-day language skills. You must paragraph your writing correctly on the test to maximize your score, but there are no requirements around particular style guides. It is helpful to use Canadian spelling patterns throughout your writing since this is a Canadian test, but provided you are consistent with whichever spelling pattern you choose (e.g., British, American, etc.), it will not impact your score. Your overall writing score will be based on the quality of your content details, the accuracy of your language use, and the completeness of your response. Please review the Performance Standards for assessment in the link below for further details. - Brandi www.celpip.ca/take-celpip/test-results/
hey guys!! Help would be appreciated. In reading Part 3- few statements looks like an inferring statements from the paragraph. How do you approach these?
Hi Jayasri. Reading Part 3 asks you to match nine different statements to a particular paragraph in a four-paragraph passage. If the full idea that is discussed in the statement is located in paragraph B, for example, you would select "B" as your corresponding answer. If the statement is not discussed within the reading passage, you would select E as your corresponding answer. You will not need to infer details to complete Reading Part 3. Instead, identify keywords in the statements, and then look for these words, or for synonyms and paraphrased ideas, within the reading passage. (Your answer is based on locating these ideas within the text, so you will not need to infer anything). - Brandi
You spent lots of time reading to come up with general ideas for the paragraphs and you want us to do so in 10 seconds? I don't think this method would work.
Hi, I like your videos. I received my result last month score of reading module is lowest but other modules I received good score. Can you give me some useful advice to achieve good score in reading. And do you have any ideas about practice material I can buy it?
Hi Dakshita. We recommend the CELPIP Accelerate Reading & Writing online course. You can find it at www.celpip.ca/prepare-for-celpip/study-materials/study-materials-celpip-g/. We also recommend watching the Reading playlist here on RUclips for some really great tips from Brandi.
Could anyone tell me why on the last questions about "if dragonflies inspired new vision technologies"; why we cannot choose option "D" based on an inference question/answer? P.S. In my first practice, I had chosen option "E"; however, I was doubtful why "D" wouldn't be a good option?
Hi Alberth. In Reading Part 3, there will be no inference questions; your goal is to match the 9 statements from the right side of the computer screen to one of the paragraphs from the reading passage on the left. (The four paragraphs from the passage are labelled A, B, C, and D). If the entire idea from a statement is discussed in a particular paragraph, you would select the letter of that paragraph as your answer. There will be times, however, that only part of the idea is discussed in the passage, or perhaps the idea is simply not discussed at all. When this occurs, you would select the answer "E- not given in any of the above paragraphs." The example that you are asking about states that "dragonflies' eyes have inspired new vision technology." In paragraph D, dragonflies' vision is discussed, and we read about the number of lenses they have in their eyes to help them detect motion, but we do not read anything about new vision technology. As a result, it would be incorrect to select D as the answer, since the statement is not entirely discussed in this paragraph. E is correct because the idea is not discussed anywhere in the reading passage. -Brandi
The reading parts in CELPIP is extremely subjective and illogical. I got 10 with everything and 5 with Reading! That is ridiculous that people should do riddles and solve illogical questions when it goes to ONLY reading.
27:27 difficult to agree...."all" means "must". I think there should not be an inference problem like this because it involves an examiner's own thought and subjective interpretation too much. Please do not exclude or ignore 'several months' in paragraph B. This can be A or E because of paragraph B. I think Reading (part 3 and 4 are the worst) and Listening should expand a range of full marks due to this problem. I can't believe that I should play this unreasonable and absurd game. Ashamed...

True.
100% percent agree. I got CELPIP Score 10 with everything and 5 with Reading! Imagine? lol
@@Vyspades i am in the same boat score 11 in all and 8 in reading and for the 6th time - they are literally checking intelligence and not english
100% true! it's all about guessing.
Same here most of my times I did celpip I scored 6 on reading . They do that so you fail and do the test again so they can stay in business . Reading shouldn’t be that hard or guessing game. They need to change that.

Going by the video, one will spend over 30 minutes in part 3, so it's not achievable
I mus thank you👍I passed with high score👏 I was studying with you only🙏

hi could you upload latest reading tests- they are really complex - not easy like the one you shared
Hi ,
When will you come up video for reading part 4 and 5?
If one of the statement happens in one of the paragraphs, but that statement is incorrect. Should we choose E or the paragraph?
Great videos❤
Great session 💕💕

This test does not determine the level of knowledge, it shows the level of training and preparation for this test 😅
