Test Expert: Speaking Practice for CELPIP(R)

This book helps you only on structuring your responses. However, most sample responses presented in this book have the same boring structures which would definitely not help much in raising your scores. I believe the raters already know all the boring formulas presented in this book by now and wont give you high scores for using them.In addition, A good structure does not guarantee that you would get high score, especially structures using low level grammars/words. You also need to fulfill other aspects of speaking such as vocabulary with some high level words, sentence complexity, etc. Attending the webminar info sessions organized by celpip will be really helpful. You will have better idea of what the raters are looking for.If you rely on this book, the maximum score you could get is 7, provided that your English is quite well, e.g, you can use English in normal daily situation comfortably and you are lucky to have familiar topic such that you could use some high level words.Also, if you end your responses too early like some of the sample responses posted on youtube for supporting this book (they have about 10 to 20 seconds left); your scores will likely to be negatively impacted.To be fair, if your current score is about 4-5; this book would definitely help you achieve 6-7. However, if you would like to raise your score from 6-7 to 8 and above, I dare say this books wouldn't help much.I would recommend the author to focus more on all aspects of how speaking responses are evaluated.

This is a good instruction guide to follow how to get better score in CELPIP speaking. But at the end everything will depend on test taker's performance on the test date and a lot will depend what type of topic will come on test talk about.

Love this book. It's very organized and it teaches you what you should do step by step.I learned some useful expressions for introduction, body, and conclusion. This book has a lot of example responses, so it helped me to create my own answer dialog structure.I highly recommend this book anyone who is suffering to find a right Celpip studying guide.This book is what I was looking for.My score increased to 8 from 6 after I studied this book. I finally got my PR!

I was struggling to practice speaking section for celpip, but this book gave me everything I wanted. Lots of topic, perfect answers, how to prepare and how to think. And there is link in the book to online videos, too, so I can listen all the answers as many times as I want. It really helps! There is nothing like this out there. I'm actually looking forward to take the test again.

The books uses the same text to explain each type of task. So in each chapter/topic you will read entire pages with almost the same wording as in previous topics. I found this book only useful as it has some examples of answer and list of useful phrases.
