Understanding Listening Scoring Levels of CELPIP

The Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program, or CELPIP, is a technique for assessing listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills in English.

Students are assigned levels beginning with M and progressing through M, 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, and ending with the 12th level. CELPIP Levels are assigned to all four portions of the CELPIP General test, as well as two sections of the CELPIP General LS exam, based on the students’ performance on the individual test. 

Here, we are going to look and understand the listening scoring levels for CELPIP.
