    Why does the Reading test include questions that do not count toward your score?
    Mostra la risposta

    Risposta: A. They are used to develop future tests

    Unscored items are used for test development. They look like the other parts and you cannot tell which ones they are, so try your best on every item.

  14. Domanda 14 di 19

    Your CELPIP level in Reading is 7. Which Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level does it match?
    Mostra la risposta

    Risposta: D. CLB 7

    CELPIP levels line up with CLB levels, so CELPIP 7 matches CLB 7.

  15. Domanda 15 di 19

    Why is your raw Reading score changed into a scaled score?
    Mostra la risposta

    Risposta: A. Because test forms differ slightly in difficulty

    Each test form is a little different in difficulty. Scaling and equating make scores fair across forms before they are matched to a CELPIP level.

  16. Domanda 16 di 19

    When you first see a passage, how long does the official overview suggest you skim it?
    Mostra la risposta

    Risposta: B. No more than 30–40 seconds

    Skim quickly, for no more than 30–40 seconds, to get the general idea. Then read the questions and scan for the answers.

  17. Domanda 17 di 19

    The passage says a meeting was "postponed." The correct answer says the meeting was "moved to a later date." What skill helps you match these?
    Mostra la risposta

    Risposta: A. Recognizing paraphrase

    Answer choices often say the same idea in different words. This is called paraphrase, and spotting it is a key reading skill.

  18. Domanda 18 di 19

    Mostra la risposta

    Risposta: A. Choose your best answer for both questions

    A wrong answer and a blank answer both score zero, so a quick best choice can only help you. Always answer every question.

Domande frequenti

Is this the official CELPIP Reading test?

No. This is an independent practice course. The passages and questions are original and copy only the task types of each part. For official samples, use the free practice tests on the CELPIP website.

What does the certificate of completion show?

It shows that you finished this course and scored at least 80% on its final assessment. It is not a CELPIP result or level, and it cannot be used as proof of English for immigration, citizenship, work or school.

Can my practice score tell me my CELPIP level?

No. Official Reading scores are converted from a raw score to a scaled score and then to a CELPIP level, and the number of correct answers needed for each level can change slightly from test to test. Practice scores here are feedback only.

Do I need the Reading test for Canadian citizenship?

The official CELPIP website says the CELPIP-General LS test, which has no Reading test, covers the Listening and Speaking skills for the citizenship language requirement. Always check the Government of Canada's current requirements before you book.

How long is the final assessment?

It has 38 questions in 55 minutes, close to the real Reading test's 43–56 minutes. The questions are drawn at random from the whole course, so every attempt is different.

L’attestato è accreditato o riconosciuto ufficialmente?

No. È un attestato di completamento privato, solo per le tue conoscenze. Non è riconosciuto, accreditato né approvato da alcun governo, ente di rilascio delle licenze, autorità di regolamentazione o istituto di istruzione e non sostituisce alcuna licenza, certificazione o formazione richiesta dalla legge.
