Mastering CELPIP starts with mock tests. If you search for “celpip mock test”, “celpip practice test”, or need a CELPIP login guide, this page shows you where to get free practice, how to schedule study time, and how to use the CELPIP score chart for Canada PR. Mock exams make the real test feel like “just another practice run.”

How to simulate test day
- One sitting; no pauses; use a headset/mic; watch the on-screen timer.
- Write within the word counter; speak until the timer ends (don’t finish too early).
- Review wrong answers next day; note patterns (time loss, misreads, weak vocab).
Pro tip

- Writing: 53m for 2 tasks. Plan 2–3 min; write; proof 2–3 min.
- Speaking: 15m for 8 tasks. Use prep seconds for 2–3 bullet ideas.
Skill boosts
- Listening: track speakers, tone shifts, numbers/dates.
- Reading: eliminate distractors; watch for tone/intent in emails.
