CELPIP Practice vs the official celpip.ca practice tests
The practice tests on celpip.ca are official, so their questions are the most exam-like you can get. They don't score your Speaking or Writing or tell you what to fix, and each practice test set costs about CA$35. Ten sets come to about CA$350.
Built with real CELPIP teachers. Teachers checked the questions and the feedback while we built them. The question models learned from a large set of past official samples, and teachers then tested the questions so they read and time like the real test. We trained our own models on official CELPIP samples and back-tested them until they reached 90%+ accuracy.

Questions about the official tests
Are the celpip.ca practice tests worth buying?
Yes, as a final check. Their questions are official, so nothing is closer to the real exam. They cost about CA$35 a set and give no score or feedback on Speaking and Writing, so they are an expensive way to practice every day.
Do the official CELPIP practice tests score Speaking and Writing?
No. The official practice tests give you no score and no feedback on Speaking or Writing. CELPIP Practice gives a band on the four official dimensions for every Speaking and Writing answer, plus a list of what to fix.
How accurate is CELPIP Practice's AI score?
We trained our own models on official CELPIP samples and back-tested them until they reached 90%+ accuracy. Built with real CELPIP teachers. Teachers checked the questions and the feedback while we built them. It is still a practice estimate, not an official CELPIP result.
How much do 10 CELPIP practice test sets cost?
About CA$350 on celpip.ca, at roughly CA$35 a set. On CELPIP Practice, CA$49.99 buys a month of Premium with every mock test and unlimited AI scoring, and Exam 1 of each skill is free.
Is CELPIP Practice official?
No. CELPIP Practice is an independent practice tool and is not affiliated with Paragon Testing Enterprises, who make the CELPIP test. The official practice tests are sold on celpip.ca.
