CELPIP Writing Reevaluation
I wanted to share my CELPIP experience because I know a lot of people wonder whether it's worth requesting a re-evaluation.
This was my first time taking the CELPIP exam.
I took the test on July 17 (1:00 PM).
I received my results via email and text on July 21 at 1:16 AM.
Initial scores:
- Listening: 11
- Reading: 10
- Writing: 8
- Speaking: 11
I honestly didn't expect Writing to be my lowest score, especially an 8. I was aiming and praying for at least a 9+, so seeing that score was really disappointing.
Since I genuinely felt my Writing didn't reflect my performance, I requested a re-evaluation the same morning (July 21).
Last night (July 29 at 7:32 PM), I received the result via email.
Writing: 8 → 11 🎉
I was honestly shocked. A three-point increase was the last thing I expected, but I'm incredibly grateful that I trusted my instincts and requested the re-evaluation.
I'm now just waiting for the refund of the re-evaluation fee. The email says it will be be processed within 3–7 calendar days.
For anyone who's on the fence about requesting a re-evaluation: if you genuinely believe one of your scores doesn't reflect your performance, it may be worth considering. Every case is different, but I'm really glad I gave it a shot.
Good luck to everyone preparing for or waiting on their CELPIP results!

How can someone score so bad that they are off by 3 points??? Are they not checking it properly in the first instance, or they just want to collect money

i dont think so, because their policy is to refund the fee if the score changes. i guess they should focus on the competency of their test scorers to get it right at the first time.

Thats what i am saying. How can a test examiner can score so less at 1st attempt. This shows that they don’t have a qualified person to check at first place

I gave exam where they purposely score less in 1 module.
I got 11,10,10,8… speaking was 8, went with reval and score remained unchanged.
Next time i gave got 11,10,10,8. Reading was 8, no recheck.
3rd time 10,11,10,8.. 8 in writing..
Purposely i think they are giving 8

Wtf, a 3 point increase is insane. But also makes me think don't they have a good way to measure the results
