My Experience with CELPIP vs IELTS


I took the CELPIP test and scored 8 in three and 7 in one . I took my test at the Nanaimo test centre. While my scores were decent, I found the Listening and Reading sections to be much more academic than I expected from a test that is supposed to assess general English ability.

Because of this experience, I decided to take IELTS as well. Surprisingly, although IELTS is often considered more difficult, I was able to achieve the score I needed (triple 7 and 8). In my experience, IELTS focused more on general knowledge and practical language use, whereas CELPIP felt more academic and strategy-based.

I had already booked another CELPIP test at the same location on December 28th, and I plan to take it again after spending more time understanding what CELPIP is specifically looking for, rather than just general language ability. I will come back and update my results after that test.

My main reason for posting this review is to share my concern that CELPIP seems intentionally designed with academic-style language, especially in Listening and Reading, which can make test-takers feel they need extensive practice and test-specific strategies. For a test marketed as general English, this was unexpected and surprising.

Reply from Celpipacademy

Hello Amandeep, This is Ms. Lilah from Celpip Academy. We are not the official CELPIP Testing Centre through which you took your test. We have never worked with you. My guess is that you assumed this to be the place to which one would post a general CELPIP review. This, however is not the case. Would you please remove this review? Thank you

Miss Lilah is one of the best teachers I know. Her individual approach to the student is something incredible. She is open, honest, fair and a true specialist in her field. Working with her is a pleasure. My preparation for the CELPIP test was at the highest level. All lessons are well-prepared, everything is clear and on topic. I not only prepared well for the test, but also improved my knowledge of the English language. I always looked forward to the next class because they were very interesting and filled with new information. Miss Lilah is a teacher you won't want to say goodbye to. My sincere recommendation ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Engaging and Effective English Lessons with Ms. Lilah

I had the pleasure of preparing for the CELPIP exam with Ms. Lilah. She is an open, friendly, and humorous person who always made our lessons enjoyable. Each session was thoughtfully structured around a specific topic, which was accompanied by relevant new vocabulary and a detailed presentation on a particular exam task. Ms. Lilah was always ready to answer my questions and provide guidance where needed. At the end of some lessons, we would engage in casual conversations on various modern topics, and she always knew how to keep the discussion lively and interesting. I highly recommend Ms. Lilah to anyone looking to improve their English!

CELPIP with Ms Lilah

I had lessons with Ms Lilah. She is an excellent teacher who can find different strategies for you. She is positive and can quickly adapt exercises to your goal and English level. I highly recommend Ms. Lilah for CELPIP individual classes.

Effective preparation ✅

I’m very grateful to Khalilah for the preparation for CELPIP exam. I didn’t expect that we’ll be able to practice so much as I had only one month for it. However we discussed everything what needed and I passed the exam better than I though, my average score is 8 and it’s great! Thank you a lot!
I recommend Khalilah from whole my heart!

I was getting ready for CELPIP for a few months, and I feel confident attending the exam now. It is always fun and a lot of information during the classes with Lilah, but you do not feel overwhelmed. The classes are composed that way that you are in balance and remember what you learned and with no pressure. Also, a huge plus is that she is doing all possible to stretch her time to give you comfortable time for classes. I have a positive experience.
