CELPIP re-evaluation

Within six months of your test date, you can ask for a CELPIP re-evaluation of some or all components of a CELPIP-General test. You apply online in your CELPIP Account and pay a fee that depends on the components you pick. Paragon Testing Enterprises, the organization behind the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP), gives the outcome in about one to two weeks, and if a component’s level changes, that component’s fee comes back.

How do you ask for a CELPIP re-evaluation?

You do it in your CELPIP Account:

Sign in and request a test re-evaluation.
Pick the components you want looked at again. The fee depends on your choice, and you pay it when you apply.
Wait about one to two weeks for the outcome.

Is a re-evaluation worth it?

It depends on the component. Paragon says Listening and Reading are computer rated, so re-evaluating them is unlikely to change your scores. If a re-evaluated component’s level does change, you get that component’s fee back.

If you’d rather sit the test again, you book another session in your CELPIP Account, the same way as your first one.
