CELPIP RE-EVALUATION 2017
- Thread starter all_iz_well

With what you've got before, just a little more push in writing would get you to the band 7 mark.
Be sure that your word count is at least what is required for each task. The way I made this sure was while practicing, I used official IELTS writing task sheets (pdf available online) and then found my average number of words per line. So in the actual test, I only had to check the number of lines I wrote to get a good estimate of my word count.
Follow some of the very minutes, yet detailed, tips given on http://ieltsliz.com/
Good luck,
Unfortunately, I have to agree with most folks here in terms of Ielts/Celpip. Below are my scores with Celpip and Ielts:
Celpip:
LRWS: 11,12,9,8- overall band 8. I tried re-eval as well, but no change.
Ielts:
LRWS: 9,9,7,7.5- overall band 8
Don't waste your time with Celpip. Its much easier to score in Ielts. I hope this helps someone.

All the best guys !! Beware !! Go for IELTS !!

This was helpful. Thank-you!
I attended IELTS on 18th Aug and finally got what I was looking for.
L-9, R-8.5, S-7.5, W-7.5
I'd also recommend IELTS over CELPIP to anyone looking to choose between the two. If writing on a paper (instead of on a computer) is a problem, like it was for me, practicing for a few days helps a lot to become more comfortable.
Just wanted to share my CELPIP status:
1st Attempt:
L7 R9 W7 S6
Re - evaluation for Speaking nothing has changed.
2nd Attempt:
L8 R10 W7 S6
Requested re-evaluation for speaking today.
Actually I think my writing can get 8, but I am ok with my writing score now. I just want to get 7 on speaking. I think I did better this time.
Hope I can receive my re-evaluation result with score 7 on speaking.

Same, took the exam on Sept.8, applied re-evaluation on Sept.18 (Tuesday). Please share your timeline once receives.
Re-evaluation result received, nothing changed.
R:12
L:12
W:8
S:7
Requested for re-evaluation for S. I took IELTS-A four years ago, speaking was CLB 8; took IELTS-G three years ago, speaking was CLB 8 too. Thought CELPIP would be easier, turns out not~ I did prepare for more than one month, did few sample tests. Can't believe this. After one-year study (master's degree) and two years full-time work, I only got a CLB 7 in CELPIP. Will try IELTS next month.
