CELPIP listening answers and transcripts
Listening is marked against an answer key, so your score shows up the moment you submit, broken down by part, and scoring never costs anything. Open any question to see what you picked next to the correct answer.
Then open the transcript for that part. Reading the exact words you heard shows whether you missed a detail or picked the answer that only sounded right.

CELPIP Listening test questions, answered
Is this CELPIP Listening practice test free?
Yes. Listening mock test 1 and practice sets in every part are free, and scoring never costs anything because listening is marked against a key. Premium (CA$14.99 a week or CA$49.99 a month) unlocks the other mock tests and the full question bank.
Does the audio play only once?
Each recording starts on its own and plays through once, as on the official test. The practice screen also shows a playbar so you can replay while you study. The official test doesn't have one.

Listening to Problem Solving, a Daily Life Conversation, Listening for Information, a News Item, a Discussion and Viewpoints. Together they hold 38 scored questions.
How long is the CELPIP Listening test?
The official section takes 46 to 55 minutes and may include unscored items. Our mocks contain the 38 scored questions.
Is the audio from the real CELPIP test?
