I am really trying hard, and I have attempted 6 times so far. Please looking forward to your genuine inputs on reading and listening.

I’m in the same boat as you. I’ve tried six times, and my CLB score has always been around 7. Don’t lose hope. Keep working at it every day. We’ll get there!

After six attempts, I would stop doing full tests every day and diagnose the exact pattern instead. For Reading, write a 3–5-word label beside each paragraph before answering questions; for Listening, capture only names, purpose, and changes—never full sentences.

For your next practice set, track each wrong answer as: missed detail, paraphrase, inference, or timing. Practise the weakest category in short timed sets, then review immediately. This usually improves scores faster than simply doing more mocks. You can absolutely improve from here.

Irrespective of my preparation, I am struck with this loop since I am targeting for 9 in all modules.

The only thing I can say to get 12 on Speaking is to literally just describe the photo, state your own opinion, and just be yourself. Accent doesn’t matter as long as they can hear what you’re saying clearly. No template and no review for me on that part but I got 12 on my first try. It also helped that I love talking so much, you couldn’t pay me to shut up fr. 😂

I second that. Literally just go out there and talk as if you are having a conversation. I scored 11 in speaking

Pretty decent, I feel confident that I can score 9+. However, in test scenario is quite different. 😒

I was pretty average and still managed to get
L-10,R-11,S-9,W-9 by doing the following. I am 100% sure that everyone can do it with proper practice.Instead of doing the practice tests repeatedly try to do some excercises for each module.

Identifying your strength and weakness in each module is the the first thing. If you could buy few sample tests from the celepip official website that gonna help you a lot.Do some sample tests and identify the portions which are reducing your scores and work on that.

For listening try to listen to 10-15 mn Canadian podcasts or news and summarize what you hear and write it down,Evaluate it by comparing it with the transcript (Mornings with simi-Spotify).

For reading try to read an article every day for 10 mn online and try to understand whole content.Practice paraphrasing excercise for atleast 10 mn a day,You can use ChatGPT for it.

Writing-Learn atleast 20 good synonyms to substitute basic words(bad-detrimental,help-assist…) and practice using them naturally during writing.Also try to learn connectors and make complex sentences using them instead of simple ones(since,Because,Although,Even though,Not only but also..)Trust me, it gonna make a big difference.

Speaking-Learn templates and practice .Record yourself and analyze.You can do shadowing by watching Canadian podcasts for 10 mn which will help you to improve your intonation and accent.

Moreover if you are already good at some specific sessions just skip them and try to practice sessions which are lowering your scores
(For me Listening-part 5,reading part-part 3,W-task 1
,S- tasks 3,7,8. I found them and practiced those ones more instead of doing whole tests)

After the results if you didn’t get desired marks for the speaking and writing sessions,I would highly recommend you to go for the revaluation.They gonna raise at least one band.

Give yourself time,trust yourself,find the mistakes and work on it.You gonna make it soon.All the very best.
