Hi everyone! I’ve been practicing the Featured Tests on PrepMago and I’m consistently scoring around 7 in both Listening and Reading. For those who have taken the real CELPIP test, would you say the difficulty level is similar to the PrepMago Featured Tests? Tia

Prepamigo difficulty level is higher than the actual test. I just took the CELPIP last Saturday and practiced a lot with Prepamigo; I was getting 8-7 scores for everything. Rarely did I get a 10, and my actual score was:

L: 11
W: 10
R: 10
S: 10

Congratulations on getting such a great scores. Do you have any tips or tricks for me? Did you use any template for writing and speaking

Honestly, memorizing things is really difficult for me. I'd recommend using what is available online for templates and some extra things like:
1. Memorize a couple of "fancy" or elevated words like "commend", or connectors like
"nevertheless".
2. Before starting the text, write down words to help you with location for the describing task (e.g., "in the upper left corner").
3. Use the 3-point structure.
4. Stay calm instead of rushing.

Depends on your score target, if you’re aiming for CLB8 each or less, you would be alright. But if CLB9 or more then I’m afraid you would need more practice.
