Retaking CELPIP: Your Roadmap to Success

Did you fall short of your target score? You are not alone. Many candidates need more than one attempt to achieve a CLB 9 or higher. The key is to analyze what went wrong and adjust your strategy.

Retake Policy Rules

  • Waiting Period: You cannot register for a test session that is within 4 calendar days of your last test.
  • No Limits: There is no limit on the total number of times you can take the test.
  • Registration: Slots fill up fast, so book in advance once your waiting period is over.

Re-evaluation (Remarking)

  • Timing: Must apply within 6 months of the test date.
  • Components: Only Speaking and Writing can be re-evaluated.
  • Cost: There is a fee, but it is refunded if your score increases.
  • Success Rate: Variable. Best for borderline cases (e.g., scoring 8 when you need 9).
