    Why is your raw Reading score changed into a scaled score?
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: A. Because test forms differ slightly in difficulty

Veelgestelde vragen

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.

Is het certificaat geaccrediteerd of officieel erkend?

Nee. Het is een privé bewijs van deelname, alleen voor je kennis. Het is niet erkend, geaccrediteerd of goedgekeurd door een overheid, vergunningsinstantie, toezichthouder of onderwijsinstelling, en het vervangt geen wettelijk verplichte vergunning, certificering of opleiding.
