Four parts and 38 scored questions. The official section runs 43 to 56 minutes because it can include unscored items. Each part asks a different kind of question, so it pays to practise them one at a time before you sit a full mock.

CELPIP reading answers and score review
Reading is marked against an answer key, so your result appears the moment you submit and scoring never costs anything. You see how many you got right in each part, and you can open any question to compare your choice with the correct one.
For Part 3, where the answers are paragraph letters, the review shows the paragraph each letter points to. For the fill-in-the-blank parts it shows the whole sentence around the blank, so you can find the line you misread.
