Run a full mock in exam order
The CELPIP-General test is taken in one sitting on a computer in this order:
- Listening — about 46–55 minutes (practice task + 6 parts). Start with Listening Test 1.
- Reading — about 43–56 minutes (4 parts). Continue with Reading Test 1.
- Writing — about 53 minutes (2 tasks). Then Writing Task 1 and Task 2.
- Speaking — about 15 minutes (practice task + 8 tasks). Finish with the Speaking tasks.
Mock test rules we recommend
These rules are our own advice to make the mock realistic: don't pause, don't replay Listening audio (our player only lets you play each clip once before you submit), write directly in the text box without a spell checker, and speak your Speaking answers out loud rather than in your head.
After the mock
Compare your estimated levels across the four skills. A gap of two or more levels between skills is a sign to focus your next week of practice on the weakest one. Your free account dashboard tracks this automatically and only names a weak area after repeated evidence.
