ListeningSix 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.

- 38 scored questions

Parts 3–4 — Information and news

Pendorai produces a practice estimate and does not issue an official CELPIP score.
In PendoraiWhat CELPIP-General LS 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.
