CELPIP writing test format: Task 1 and Task 2
Two tasks, about 53 minutes in total. Both ask for 150 to 200 words and are scored on the same four dimensions, so the habits you build on one carry over to the other.
Task 1
Writing an Email
Read a short situation and write an email that covers all three points listed in the prompt.

CELPIP writing scores, corrections and sample answers
Submit an answer and you get a band from 1 to 12 plus a score for content and coherence, vocabulary, readability and task fulfillment, each with a reason. The feedback quotes sentences from your answer and rewrites them, then shows a CLB 12 response to the same prompt.
The grader was tuned on official CELPIP writing samples and rubrics so it doesn't inflate a weak answer. Treat the band as a close estimate for tracking progress.
On official CELPIP writing answers, 94% of our scores land within one level of CELPIP's own. See how it compares with ChatGPT.
