CELPIP-A Fully Computerized

CELPIP AcademicWe are pleased to inform you that the CELPIP-Academic Test is now fully computer-delivered.

Each component (Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing) will be done on the computer instead of being partially computer-delivered and partially paper-delivered. You can be assured that this is only a change in delivery method, the test format has not changed. This change is simply to make things more convenient for the test candidates.

 

 

What are the benefits of a computer-delivered test?

 

1. Allows test candidates to complete all components of the test in just one sitting. The Speaking component requires no additional appointments with an examiner. This allows test candidates to demonstrate their English proficiency without the confounding effects associated with human interaction as used in other testing systems.

2. Completing the test with a keyboard and mouse rather than paper and pen can provide a considerable advantage to the test candidate, especially in the Writing component.

3. The use of a headset for the Listening component allows test candidates to adjust the volume to suit their own needs.

4. The Writing component includes an automatic “word count” function.

5. Each component of the test includes a timer, which allows test candidates to keep track of their own time.
