Free CELPIP Reading practice tests
30 full-length Reading mock tests in the same format and timing as the CELPIP-General test. Every test has new passages, and every answer is explained.
Reading mock tests
Each test has 4 parts: Reading Correspondence (11 questions, 11 min), Reading to Apply a Diagram (8 questions, 9 min), Reading for Information (9 questions, 10 min) and Reading for Viewpoints (10 questions, 13 min).
About the CELPIP Reading test
| Part | What you read | Questions | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Reading Correspondence | A personal or work message, then a reply with blanks | 11 | 11 min |
| 2. Reading to Apply a Diagram | A table, schedule or price list, and an email that uses it | 8 | 9 min |
| 3. Reading for Information | An informational text in four paragraphs, A to D | 9 | 10 min |
| 4. Reading for Viewpoints | An opinion article, then a reader's comment with blanks | 10 | 13 min |
The real Reading test also includes some unscored questions mixed in with the scored ones, so the full section takes 55 to 60 minutes. Scores are reported as CELPIP levels from M (below 3) to 12, which match the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB). Many Express Entry programs ask for at least CLB 7.
How to use these tests
- Take Test 1 in timed mode to see where you stand.
- Read every explanation, especially for Part 4. It is usually the hardest part, and wrong options often state someone else's opinion, not the writer's.
- In Part 3, choose E only when the information really isn't in any paragraph. Similar words in a paragraph don't mean it's there.
- Do two or three tests a week and keep a list of the words you didn't know.
Always check the format and fees on the official CELPIP website before you book.
