Frequently Asked Questions
How is CELPIP Speaking different from IELTS Speaking?
CELPIP has 8 tasks (vs 3 parts in IELTS), is completely computer-based, and uses AI scoring with human verification. It focuses on North American English and real-life Canadian situations.
What if I finish speaking before the time ends?
Use the remaining time to add more details, examples, or clarify your point. Silence before the timer ends can lower your score.
Does my accent affect my score?
No. As long as you are understandable. Clarity > accent. AI is trained to recognize many accents.
How much preparation time do I get per task?
It varies: Tasks 1-4: 30 seconds. Tasks 5-8: 60 seconds. Use this time to plan your response.
How can I practice at home?
Record yourself using our practice tests, practice with a study partner, and listen to CLB 9+ sample answers.
What’s the best way to prepare for all 8 tasks?
Practice each task type separately. Master task-specific strategies, time management, and common vocabulary for each task.
