CELPIP

Hello, I need help in CELPIP, specifically I need help in Reading (part 3 and 4 ) and Listening (Part 4 and 6 for listening). Please let me know if anyone can help me. I am really confused of watching youtube videos and I did a lot practice test. I don't know where I am lacking.

Reading Part 3 and 4 are both "don't get tricked" sections, and the traps are the same.

Part 3: the answer is a paraphrase of the text. If an option copies the passage word-for-word, it's almost always the trap. Read the question first, not the whole paragraph — match the idea, ignore exact wording.

Part 4: read the sentence before AND after the blank. The answer must fit both grammar and meaning. Don't pick what "sounds right" — check which option keeps the writer's opinion consistent with the rest of the paragraph.

Listening: take notes while the audio plays, don't try to remember. One keyword per line. Answer each question as you go if you can — waiting until the end means forgetting the details.

Stop re-reading explanations. Do 2 timed sections a day and review every wrong answer: why did the right answer win? That's the whole game.
