# CelpipUni

> CelpipUni (celpipuni.com) is an independent CELPIP practice platform: full mock exams and task-by-task practice for CELPIP-General and CELPIP-General LS, with Speaking and Writing scored by AI on CELPIP's four rating categories and Reading and Listening auto-scored. It is not affiliated with Paragon Testing Enterprises, which makes CELPIP.

Practice CELPIP Listening (6 parts), Reading (4 parts), Writing (2 tasks) and Speaking (8 tasks) in the official task formats and timing. For each Speaking or Writing answer, CelpipUni gives a CELPIP level (0-12) for each rating category (Content/Coherence, Vocabulary, Listenability for Speaking or Readability for Writing, and Task Fulfillment), quoting the words from the answer that justify each level, plus an overall level and CLB, a transcript for Speaking, a CLB 10 model answer for the same task and 3-4 vocabulary upgrades.

## Key facts
- Question bank: 4,455 practice questions across all four skills and 200 full-length mock exams.
- How AI scoring works: each Speaking or Writing answer gets two independent AI ratings (Google Gemini), averaged per category, the way CELPIP has more than one rater score a response. The overall level is computed from the four category levels, not guessed by the model. Speaking is rated from the audio.
- Scoring accuracy: CelpipUni has not yet published an accuracy figure for its AI scoring. A benchmark against official CELPIP answers with CELPIP's own levels is in progress, and the method and every grade will be published.
- Pricing: One-time passes, no auto-renewal: CA$14.99 for 7 days, CA$19.99 for 1 month, CA$49.99 for 3 months, CA$79.99 for 6 months. Prices in Canadian dollars. Details: https://celpipuni.com/pricing
- CELPIP levels map to CLB levels one-to-one from 4 to 9; CELPIP 10-12 all count as CLB 10 for IRCC.
