Practice with CELPIP questions

Guide

CELPIP questions come in four kinds, one per skill, and each has its own format, timing and way of being scored. The fastest way to improve is to practice the exact question types you will face on test day, which is how this page is organized.

What the CELPIP questions cover

Reading and Listening are multiple choice and scored by computer. Reading has four parts (Correspondence, Diagram, Information and Viewpoints) and Listening has six, from Problem Solving through to Viewpoints. There is no penalty for a wrong answer, so on these sections a blank is always worse than a guess.

Writing and Speaking are open responses. Writing is an email and a survey response; Speaking is eight short spoken tasks, from giving advice to describing a picture. These are judged by people on things like content, vocabulary and how clearly you organize your ideas, so they reward structure and practice more than memorized answers.

Every set on this page is timed to mirror the real pace, and the questions are grouped by the exact part or task they belong to, so you can drill one question type at a time rather than jumping around. Start with the free set in any part, then keep going from there.

CELPIP questions: frequently asked questions

What kinds of questions are on the CELPIP test?
The CELPIP-General test has four sections. Reading and Listening are multiple choice and computer-scored; Writing (an email and a survey response) and Speaking (eight short spoken tasks) are open responses. This page has practice questions for all four, grouped by the exact part or task you will see on test day.
Are these real CELPIP questions?
No. These are original practice questions written to match the format, timing and difficulty of the real CELPIP, not questions taken from an official test. The real exam never reuses its questions, so practicing the question types is what actually helps.
How many CELPIP practice questions are there?
Hundreds, across the four skills, with new sets added regularly. Each skill is split into its parts or tasks, and every part has multiple full practice sets, so you can keep drilling the same question type until it feels routine.
Are the CELPIP practice questions free?
The first set of every part and task is free, with no card required, so you can try each question type before deciding. The rest of the sets, and the full mock tests, are part of celpora Premium.
How should I practice CELPIP questions?
Work one part or task at a time under the real timer, then review every answer afterwards, especially the ones you guessed. For Reading and Listening, focus on why the wrong options are wrong; for Writing and Speaking, compare your response against the scoring criteria. Short, focused, timed sessions beat long untimed ones.
