Computer delivered

One Sitting. Everyday English.

CELPIP is completed on a computer at a test centre. The prompts focus on communication in workplace, community, and daily-life settings, and Speaking responses are recorded through a headset.

What the interface controls

  • Section and task timers continue while you work.
  • Listening recordings play once and cannot be paused.
  • Reading permits navigation within the current part.
  • Writing and Speaking tasks move forward in order.

What you produce

  • Selected answers for Listening and Reading.
  • An email and a survey response in General.
  • Eight separately recorded Speaking responses.
  • No separate Speaking appointment or interviewer.

What Pendorai returns

  • Deterministic objective marking after submission.
  • Writing and Speaking criterion breakdowns.
  • Answer review, transcripts, and sample responses.
  • A practice estimate, never presented as an official score.
Listening

Six parts, one-play Canadian English

Every recording plays once. The section begins with practical problem solving and develops through everyday conversation, information, news, group discussion, and contrasting viewpoints.

  • 46–55 minutes
  • 38 scored questions
  • Shared by both tests

8 + 5 questions

Parts 1–2 — Practical conversations

Solve a problem, then follow an everyday exchange.

  • Part 1: Listening to Problem Solving.
  • Part 2: Listening to a Daily Life Conversation.
  • Questions are shown one at a time as the exchange develops.

6 + 5 questions

Parts 3–4 — Information and news

Extract detail, purpose, organization, and implied meaning.

  • Part 3: Listening for Information.
  • Part 4: Listening to a News Item.
  • The language is functional and natural rather than academic for its own sake.

8 + 6 questions

Parts 5–6 — Discussion and viewpoints

Track several speakers and distinguish positions.

  • Part 5: Listening to a Discussion.
  • Part 6: Listening to Viewpoints.
  • Each part presents its question set after the shared recording.

The official test may include indistinguishable unscored Listening items for test development. Pendorai labels its simulations as scored practice forms and does not pretend to identify official operational items.

Reading

Four practical reading situations

You read correspondence, combine a message with visual information, locate facts in an informational text, and distinguish competing viewpoints.

  • 43–56 minutes
  • 38 scored questions
  • 4 parts

11 questions

Part 1 — Reading Correspondence

Understand an email or message exchange and complete a related response.

  • Purpose, detail, tone, implication, and appropriate reply.
  • The text remains visible while you answer.

8 questions

Part 2 — Reading to Apply a Diagram

Use written and visual information together.

  • Schedules, listings, plans, advertisements, or comparison tables.
  • The best answer depends on constraints across both sources.

9 questions

Part 3 — Reading for Information

Locate and connect information across a longer text.

  • Paragraph-level matching and accurate detail.
  • One option can represent information that is not stated.

10 questions

Part 4 — Reading for Viewpoints

Separate the writer's position from another contributor's view.

  • Agreement, disagreement, support, and implication.
  • Questions remain grounded in what each person actually says.
Writing

An email, then a survey choice

Both responses must achieve a practical purpose for a clear audience. The interface keeps the prompt visible and shows a live word count.

  • 53 minutes
  • Task 1: 27 minutes
  • Task 2: 26 minutes

27 minutes

Task 1 — Writing an Email

Write to a person or organization about a realistic situation.

  • Address every requested point and make the purpose unmistakable.
  • Use a tone, organization, vocabulary, and level of detail that fit the recipient.

26 minutes

Task 2 — Responding to Survey Questions

Choose one of two options and persuade the reader.

  • State a clear preference and develop concrete supporting reasons.
  • Acknowledge the context instead of producing a memorized general essay.
Speaking

Eight recorded responses in fifteen minutes

The computer presents each situation, gives you a short preparation period, and records one response. There is no separate face-to-face interview.

  • 15 minutes
  • 8 tasks

Scoring

How The Report Works

CELPIP reports performance by skill. Pendorai produces a practice estimate from deterministic objective answers and criterion-based evaluation of your own written and recorded responses.

Listening
Level estimate

Computer-marked objective responses.

Reading
Level estimate

Computer-marked objective responses.

Writing
Level estimate

Content, organization, vocabulary, readability, and task fulfilment.

Speaking
Level estimate

Content, vocabulary, listenability, and task fulfilment.

Official CELPIP levels run from M (minimal proficiency or insufficient information) through 3–12. Pendorai results are practice estimates, not official CELPIP scores.

In Pendorai

What CELPIP-General Practice Looks Like Here

Sit a full paper, or drill one task type until it stops costing you marks. Either way it is marked, explained, and folded back into what you study next.

  • The full interaction, not a worksheet.

    One-play protected audio, forward-only section flow, timed Writing tasks, and real browser microphone recording reproduce the decisions you make on test day.

  • Functional English stays functional.

    Sources and prompts come from plausible Canadian workplace, service, community, and everyday settings rather than recycled academic-test topics.

  • Feedback goes beyond one number.

    Objective answers are reviewed item by item. Writing and Speaking return criterion evidence, focused improvements, transcripts, and high-scoring examples.
