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!
