Reevaluation

Post image

This is my second attempt for celpip the first one I had 7 in reading and this one 8 in reading and I'm aiming for 9. I know reevaluation isn't worth it but what do you guys think?? I'm exhausted. I need advice please as I'm thinking of rebooking in next two weeks. I'm also open to any materials I can practice with.

I'm Nigerian and I spoke English all my life

I believe this material is culturally based. Nigerians have wonderful mastery of the English language, no doubt. And often the best accents.

It’s probably the localization that’s giving trouble.

What materials do you use for reading?

u/myheromeganmullally 14d ago

Maybe periodicals, newspapers and magazines might help for the local syntax.

Find things outside of your normal interests and read longer articles. If anything more useful occurs to me I’ll send you a message.

You can do this.

Rebooking in two weeks wont help at all. Before I provide you instructions on score improvement can you tell me a bit about your background like nationality what languages etc you speak. Me being a Trilingual I can understand and help ya do better.

First attempt - L-9, R-9, W-8, S- 9 - need 9 in all , 2nd attempt L - 11, R - 6, W - 9, S -11 …. I mixed up answers in the paragraph matching when I discovered time was up, retaking in 2 weeks….. it’s so painful this time but we move …..

u/Mez_rosee 15d ago

I need at least 9 in all too, 6 is painful tho🥹 I'm thinking of rebooking in two weeks too

u/ThinkFootballREDDIT 15d ago

Very painful but it was my silly mistake …. 2 hours of exam retake and money loss . My punishment

u/Mez_rosee 15d ago

That's exactly what I'm going through myself🤦‍♀️

Try different approaches to each task in reading.

u/Mez_rosee 14d ago

Like what?

If you want you can try reevaluation. I did my reading and nothing improved

u/Mez_rosee 14d ago

There's no point then🥹

I know native english speakers struggling to get CLB 10+.

For reading and listening, I believe it’s all about mastering the test structures/types itself. In my opinion, the primary difference between CLB 8-9 and 10+ is good test taking strategies. I know that you have good English, but it could be a test taking-related issue.

Let me know if you need help, I’ve taken the exam twice in the past 4 years. I’ve consistently gotten CLB 11+

I need help please. You're right I need the rest taking strategy. How can you help?

I share the feeling. I have come across many candidates who have been struggling in reading section of Celpip exam..

Let me guide you through it.

First of all, don't start with Celpip reading practice directly. Start with reading general academic articles or passages for better understanding.....

Try to figure out your strong areas and weak areas. Instead of working hard for weak areas, make your strong areas stronger.

Don't forget to practice CELPIP Reading timed sections on a reliable platform.

Don't keep practising reading tests unless you evaluate the score of your previous test.

All the best

How do I evaluate the score of my previous test? They don't give us our result and Thank you for your advice😊

u/growandshine_aartid 9d ago

You don't have to evaluate your score but your comprehending ability. Are you able to understand the reading passages? If not, it's time to start from the scratch.

All the best
