What raters look for
Official CELPIP Writing is assessed on content and coherence, vocabulary, readability, and task fulfillment. In practice this means: answer every bullet point, organise ideas into clear paragraphs, use precise words, and keep the right tone for the reader.
How feedback works here
Every submission gets an instant free score from a rule-based checker (word count, task coverage, structure). Signed-in users can request an AI-estimated practice score with criterion-by-criterion feedback and a rewritten version of their answer. AI scores are practice estimates, not official CELPIP scores.
