Best Online CELPIP Resources

June 11, 2018

Get ready for the CELPIP test with these online resources.

The CELPIP test is relatively new, but new resources for test-takers are coming online every day to help you get the best result you can.

There are a lot of good videos on YouTube, where you can learn about and practice for the CELPIP test, and also raise your general level of skill in English ahead of the test.

In this video, Paragon Testing, the company which owns the CELPIP test, offers online lessons to help you understand the test and improve your result.

The best way to prepare for the CELPIP, of course, is to do practice tests. You can find these on the CELPIP website and practice them on your own time:

But the most important advice I can give is that it is important to assess your level, long before your test. Take a practice test, decide what you areas you need to improve, and start practicing well ahead of time.

Developing language skills requires time, and it can take up to three months of regular study and practice to improve your score. Don’t wait until one or two weeks before the exam.

The most important path to success is to speak as much as you can. You should try to speak in paragraphs, linking ideas sentences together and developing your ideas. Don’t stick to just one word or single-sentence answers. Expand as much as possible giving details and reasons for your answer.
