Reading format
CELPIP Reading has four parts and about 38 questions, over 43-56 minutes. Texts are everyday materials: emails, news articles, forms, and correspondence.
Common question types
- Reading Correspondence — emails and letters.
- Reading to Apply a Diagram — match text to a graph or picture.
- Reading for Information — multiple short texts.
- Reading for Viewpoints — opinions and arguments.
Strategy that works
Skim the text for structure first, then scan for keywords from the question. Watch for distractors that sound right but reverse the meaning. Manage time — the later parts are denser.
