Sometimes I see comments like “CELPIP is not transparent; why can’t I reach a specific level after multiple attempts?🤬” or “It’s all a cash grab; the test is not fair.” My response is always - “you just need help with doing well on the test itself.” In reality, the test is highly transparent. Let’s break it down 👇All Writing and Speaking tests are assigned to raters randomly by an online system. Your name is never shown - full anonymity is maintained at all times 🙈Your performance is not checked by one person. Each Speaking test is assessed by a minimum of 3 different raters. Each Writing test is assessed by a minimum of 4 different raters. They work independently and never see each other’s scores. If the grades they assign have a large discrepancy, your response will be re-evaluated by 2 benchmark raters - extremely experienced professionals who don’t see your previous results🧑🎓Raters don’t give a “feeling-based” score. They assess very specific dimensions - Content/Coherence, Vocabulary, Listenability or Readability, Task Fulfillment. Each dimension has clear performance levels with detailed descriptors. Raters look for evidence in your response that matches those descriptors.Finally, when a test taker is not happy with the results, you can apply to have your responses re-evaluated. And we have seen some success in doing so 💯. After all, humans make mistakes.In the end, your job is not only to know English, but to understand the test criteria and meet them consistently.Good luck and reach out if you need help✌️
