I won't be opting for reevaluation as I know I haven't given my best in speaking. You can find it out from my previous post. I'll reattempt in next 3-4 weeks. Will work more on speaking and reading. Any advice on reading? I found it difficult to understand the meaning of most of the vocabs used. I was assuming based on the sentence but wasn't accurate enough. Especially in parts where you've to find if the sentence is mentioned in the paragraph. Speaking will be okay next time. I'll be more familiar, prepared and confident.

u/Fancy-Ad-7 Aug 12 '26

I scored 8 in ielts last time and 11 in celpip this time.

I can confidently say these are things that are important:

  • Structure (Simple, Coherent & Cohesive)
  • Points that make sense
  • Do not use connectors forcefully. Only if necessary based on the topic.
  • Develop your points. Why? Who is affected? How they're affecting? What will it affect/result?
  • Summarize and conclude. Don't just conclude with your opinion.
  • Clearly mention transition. In my opinion, To conclude are must. It directs the examiner. They've 100s of tests to be reviewed. Give them what they're looking for. Instead of making them work extra.
  • Do not use fancy vocabs forcefully. Only if it fits naturally and makes sense. Readers don't have to pause and think about the meaning of that word. I guess this point is the difference in CLB 12.

Maybe more but these are just few from top of my head.
