By the end of this episode, you'll have actionable insights that help you navigate your journey toward a successful CELPIP experience.

Takeaways:

• To confidently aim for a CLB 7 on the CELPIP exam, assess your English proficiency realistically before the exam date.
• Being able to engage in spontaneous conversations with strangers indicates a solid intermediate level of English skills.
• Understanding and expressing your opinions clearly is crucial for reaching a CLB 7 on the CELPIP exam.
• Regularly using English in daily situations shows you're likely at an intermediate level, preparing you for the CELPIP exam.

• Set aside one to three months for targeted preparation to familiarize yourself with the CELPIP exam format and expectations.

How do you know you'll be able to achieve a 7, a CLB 7 on the CELPIP exam before you actually take it? And is that even a possible thing to do? Hi, I'm Aaron. Welcome to the CELPIP Success Podcast.

Today we're going to be talking all about how to know if you have a strong enough level of English for the score that you're aiming for on the celpip.

And if you can know that before you actually take the exam so that you can maybe save yourself some money, save yourself some frustration and just go in knowing, or at least having more confidence knowing that you have what it takes to score or get the score that you're hoping for on the exam. So the idea for today's podcast came from a Reddit post that I saw a couple of days ago and it says this.

How hard is it to get a 7 on all bands on the CELPIP? Is it difficult to get 7 in all areas of the exam? I must get that grade in order to get a post graduation work permit. I'm so stressed out about it.

And my second question is how much preparation should I have to get that grade? Alright, so today we're going to talk about both of those points. How do I get a seven? How do I know I'm ready to get a seven on the celpip?

And how much time should I prepare before I actually take the exam? Here's the quick answer to that question. A seven is not hard to get if you already have a strong intermediate level of English.

But if your level of English is lower than an intermediate level of English, then you can bet that it's going to be really challenging for you to get that seven, because a seven on the CELPIP is the same as an intermediate level of English.

So if you know ahead of time that that's what your, your level of English is, then you can be confident that you'll be able to grab that score when you take the exam. You can know if you have that level of English simply by having taken, you know, language proficiency exams before, not necessarily the CELPIP exam.

Like maybe if you've done language training before in the past, maybe if you've gone to a university or to, if you've taken English classes, maybe you have already scored at a certain level of English.

You know, most language schools will give you a level of English that you're working on, like a beginner level, an A1 or an A2 or an intermediate, which is going to be B1 or B2. Or maybe you're advanced. If you're advanced, of course you're going to not have any trouble at all, I hope, of scoring a seven on the celpit.

But what you're looking for is already having that intermediate level of English, so that's how you'll know or have a very high level of confidence that you're going to be able to achieve that 7 on the exam, which is what you're looking for. When I was a kid, I was part of a group called the Scouts. We had a special uniform.

I remember it being gray and long sleeved, and we met weekly together. And during our times together, we would play games. And most of all, we would learn things.

And these things that we would learn would often have connections to our community. Like, we would learn about recycling. We would learn about community service. Like things that we can do to help and serve others.

We also learned special skills that would be helpful for us. Like, I can remember learning how to build like a campfire. I remember learning how to build a portable little stove out of a tin can.

I remember learning how to use a compass. All kinds of, like outdoor survival skills. And all of these skills lived inside of a handbook.

And this handbook was kind of like your, your map of progress through being a Scout. The idea was you were, you were supposed to try to learn how to do each one of those things.

And for each skill that you lear, you would demonstrate it. Like you would go to your scout leader and say, hey, I've learned how to do this. And then you would demonstrate it to them.

And then the cool thing was, is that you would earn a badge and these badges would be sewn onto the sleeves of your uniform. And the idea was, is that you were trying to fill your uniform with these badges. And the badges were really cool.

They were something that you worked really hard to try to earn. I remember one in particular. I think one of my favorite ones was a woodworking badge where everybody got a block of wood.

And it was just little, like maybe probably big enough that you could fit it into both hands. It was just a single block of wood. And the package came with little plastic tires and some paint.

But the idea was, is that you needed to design your very own race car out of that block of wood. And part of this whole project was to work together with a grown up in your life.

I worked on it with my dad and with my grandpa and it was so much fun. I remember drawing with my dad and with my grandpa what we would like the car to look like.

And then we went to work together on it, cutting out the shape in that block of wood and painting it and putting the tires on. But that was only part of the project. After it was already designed and built and painted.

The next part of the project was to actually race it with the other members of the Scout group that I was a member of.

And not only that, it went to, like, a provincial level, so if you did well inside of your own little group, you could compete with other Scout troops around the province. It was a lot of fun. And of course, at the end of it all, you got a badge that you could sew onto your. Onto your uniform.

And as I was thinking through that, I was thinking, you know, for my friend, that you're trying to get a CLB level 7 on the CELPIP, or if you're aiming for a 9 or a 10 or a 12, wouldn't it be cool if there was some way that you could know ahead of time, like, you could earn.

I know you can't earn badges or anything like that to help you to know where you are with your English skills, but, boy, it would be kind of helpful, wouldn't it, to know where you are with your English skills. I kind of feel like that would be motivating for someone. I mean, maybe that's just me.

Maybe that would be silly for you, but I kind of feel like it would be motivating to have, like, a visual reading or a visual representation of where you are. Like, if you're just entering the intermediate level of English, meaning you're getting close to that CLB level seven that. That our Reddit friend is.

Is looking for. It would be really cool if there were, like, well, let's talk about badges. If there were badges that you could earn, that would.

That would show you where you are in this whole big process of learning English.

Because what I found, like, when I've been learning Spanish and when I've been helping people to learn English, it just feels like this long, cloudy, nebulous, very difficult to know where I am process like you are. Is it. Is the intermediate level just on a course book?

Like, if I finish a course book that's at the intermediate level and I finish that course book, does that mean that I've finished or that I've completed the intermediate level? I'll give you a clue. The answer to that one is no, you just finished a course book.

But I feel like that's something that that's missing that would be so helpful a way for you to kind of gauge your progress inside of the level, or at least have an idea of what your current skills are and what skills you should be shooting for in order to move up to the next level or to gradually, you know, be leveling up. Just like what I did with that, with that little book that our. Our Scout troop had.

It was filled with all kinds of activities that you could be doing that would. That would level up your skills as a Scout.

And you would get, like I said before, a badge that you could sew onto your uniform that proves that you've gone this far. And of course, there were badges, by the way, that were much more desirable than others.

Like, there were ones that everybody was trying to get and they weren't easy to go after. And if you got it, you were really cool, but everybody could get it. The things that you had to do in order to achieve it were in those books.

It wasn't a secret. It was obvious for everyone. And if you had the desire to go for it, you could do it. That's what I'm getting at today.

Is there something out there that would help you know, where you are with your level of English? Like our friend who's shooting for that 7 for his immigration process.

Wouldn't it be great if he had, or she had an idea in her head of, well, I can do this, this, this and this, which means that I'm probably at the intermediate level of English, knowing that before you actually take the CELPIP exam would be so beneficial, I think. And the good news is, is that there is something like that out there, but it's one.

It's not very commonly talked about, I don't think, or used, or at least it hasn't been in the circles that I've been around with people who are learning English. It's always been my level of English is tied down to a course book and an exam that I have to do. But there's more to it than that.

And what I want to talk with you about today that I think will be very helpful for you if you're trying to go for a certain score on the CELPIP exam. In Today's case, a 7. That's what we're going to be talking about today.

There is something that you've probably heard before, and it is the Canadian language benchmarks.

In other words, that clb, if you've ever seen those three letters, and I bet you you have, if you've been working towards your immigration process at all, I'm sure you've seen that those three letters and those three letters stand for Canadian Language Benchmark. And the seven is the score or the rating inside of those series of benchmarks. It goes from 1 all the way up to 12, just like the CELPIP exam.

And what's interesting is that the CELPIP exam is tied directly to Canadian Language benchmarks. So A score of 7 on the CELPIP is the same as CLB level 7, if that makes sense. I hope that makes sense to you. So one thing will lead to the other.

They're. They're the same thing.

So how can you tell before your exam day that you're probably, that you have a really good chance of scoring a 7 if that's the score that you're wanting to score? Here are some things based on the Canadian Language Benchmarks that will help you think about what you are able to do.

Number one, and this is really important, as a CLB level 7 holder or someone who has achieved CLB 7, you are able to handle most day to day conversations without falling into too many problems. And what that means is that, for example, you can handle unexpected phone calls.

For example, if you're at work, you can handle getting a phone call from a client, maybe someone that you weren't expecting to hear from. They call you, they call your office, you pick up the phone and you answer.

If you have a CLB level of 7 or higher, you'll be able to deal with those kinds of calls without too much problems. Like you're definitely not avoiding them. I remember doing that when I was first learning Spanish when I lived in Mexico.

If the phone rang, I would hide. I would not pick up that phone because I did not have an intermediate level of Spanish at all. I was like zero.

It was very, very small or very, very limited, my level of Spanish. So I remember at the beginning I would totally avoid answering the phone.

But for you, if you have an intermediate level of English at this point in your experience and level of English, you are able to deal with those kinds of phone calls. So that's one thing you can think, am I able to handle phone calls at random? Like from people that I'm. I don't know necessarily.

It could be from clients, it could be from colleagues as well. Am I able to pick up the phone and talk with that person without any trouble?

If you're able to do that, you might have an intermediate level of English or a CLB7. Another thing that you should be able to do at this level is to have and carry on spontaneous chats with people in the general Public.

And what I'm thinking about here is, for example, when you go to the grocery store and you are buying the things that you are buying, you can interact with the cashier without any trouble. Like when they ask you, hey, did you find everything that you were looking for?

You have no problem understanding what they're saying and you have no problem expressing, yes, I did. No, I haven't found everything I'm looking for. I really wish that you had this.

And so on, or bantering back and forth, like in small talk, about what a beautiful day it is, how was your weekend? What are you going to do today? You know, very general kind of conversations that you can run into having with someone in the general public.

I was just thinking about the store clerk, because those kinds of things happen to everybody pretty frequently.

But it could also be that maybe you're out doing your thing, you're grocery shopping, or maybe you stop by a coffee shop and you just happen to run into a coworker that only speaks English, you don't.

If you have an intermediate level of English, you're not hiding from that, you are completely comfortable in saying hello to this person and exchanging some small talk with them.

Maybe as you're waiting in line, or maybe as you're just standing in the grocery aisle, you maybe you bumped into them and you just start talking for a little bit. If you have that level of English CLB7, you are able to do that without any trouble.

And the thing to keep in mind here is that you don't have difficulty in starting or keeping the conversation going in these settings. So that's the first thing to keep in mind. The second thing you can and do express yourself.

And you express yourself about your ideas, your opinions and your feelings. And you do it clearly, and you do it clearly and you give reasons for them. You're not just saying, I feel happy.

You're not just saying, I feel sad today. You're not just saying, I hated that movie or that hamburger was delicious. You're not just coming out with those simple statements.

You are explaining why you think the way you do.

And that means when you're at work, you can share your opinion about something that you've been asked about or something that your boss or your supervisor or a co worker has asked you to do.

Like maybe in a project, for example, you can totally agree to do that thing, or you can push back and say, no, I don't think that this is the best thing for us to do, and here's why.

So when you're at work, you can engage with the people that you work with, effectively expressing your ideas, agreeing with them, or disagreeing kindly with someone. You should be able to do that without any problem at all. The CLB level 7.

If you happen to go to the movies, for example, with some English speaking friends after the movie or before the movie, like before the movie, you can be talking about what you think the movie is going to be about, or how excited you feel about going to see this movie, or how uncertain you feel about it and why. You're able to talk about your thoughts and your feelings about this thing before it happens and especially after.

That's where probably a lot of the conversation is going to be taking place. Place. Right? You walk out of the movie and you're just excitedly chattering with your friends about it.

At this level of English, as an intermediate level speaker, you should be able to engage in this kind of conversation, starting it or maintaining it as it is happening with other people who only speak English, you should be able to say, oh, I love this part of the movie. Did you see the way that the main character did this? Or did you notice that scene? It was such a great scene because.

And then you start explaining your reasons why you should be able to do that at this level of English. The idea here is day to day things, normal interactions that happen all around us all the time. You should know what's happening.

You should be able to hear what's going on around you and be able to engage with it.

That could be things like news stories that you hear like on the radio on your way to work, or if you're on the bus or if you're just watching the news at home, you should be able to hear something. And it obviously it's going to be making you think, but you should be able to take those thoughts and share them with somebody else in English.

And it could be on politics, it could be on current events, it could be on even common things like the last visit to a restaurant that you went to. That was either a positive experience or a negative experience. All those things we talk about with our friends, don't we?

All those things we talk about with our coworkers on Monday, you know, after the weekend, you come into work and probably the first question that people are going to ask you is, how was your weekend?

And you should be able to engage with those kinds of questions, not just stating simple, simple things about how your weekend was by going into details. All right, so that's something that someone at a CLB7 should be able to do with their speaking skills.

The next thing to keep in mind, you should be able to check in with yourself and see if you are able to give somebody step by step instructions about how to do something. Last week at work, the World Series was on and our beloved Blue Jays were playing. Oh, our poor Blue Jays. They got so close. They got so close.

I remember the last time that they did. I was just a little boy and I remember being so excited of a Canadian team winning the World Series. But it was.

The games were all happening past my bedtime and I remember sneaking a small portable radio into my bedroom and into my bed and I tuned into the game so that I could at least listen to the game being played as I was supposedly sleeping. But anyway, that's not what I'm here to talk with you about today. But last week we had to work on our TV before the game began.

Something in there wasn't working in the settings and we had to talk through how to set it up properly. We had to give instructions to someone so that they could do it, like using the remote.

They had to work through getting it to the right channel, the right settings. And that's another thing that you should be able to do at an intermediate level of English.

You should be able to talk someone through how to do something step by step. Usually something that you have a lot of experience with, right? You should be able to express to someone who needs your help how to do that.

Another thing that you need to be able to do at this level is express what you need or describe what's happening to you. I remember when I lived in Mexico, there was this time when I got so sick, my throat hurt so much I could barely swallow.

It felt like it was on fire all the time. And I had to go to the local pharmacy and ask for help. I needed to explain what my symptoms were.

And thankfully I had a strong enough level of Spanish that I could do it. I wasn't advanced yet. I think I was probably at this level, at the intermediate level with my Spanish skills.

But I remember walking up to the counter. I already kind of knew the guy, but I remember explaining to him how much my throat hurt. Like I was pointing. It hurts here.

Like I was pointing to my throat. I was saying where the pain was when I felt it and how long I've been sick. And just my general symptoms.

Like I wasn't just having a sore throat, I was coughing. And I remember just feeling like chills. So I was able to explain all of those things.

And as a result he was able to give me some, some medicine to help me to deal with the problem.

At an intermediate level of English, you should be able to go to your doctor or to go to a drop in clinic if you don't have a doctor that treats you all the time. Like, you should be able to go to a walk in clinic and explain in English what your symptoms are and what kind of help you're looking for.

And it doesn't just have to be at the doctors, you know, if you need to go do some paperwork like maybe I have a friend right now who's trying to get their driver's license renewed at this level.

At an intermediate CLB level 7, you should be able to go and do this on your own and interact with the clerk or with the person who's trying to help you. At this level, you should be able to say what you need and answer any questions that they may offer you.

So at this level, just as a quick recap of what I was just talking about, you should be able to give step by step instructions and you should be able to talk about your needs like the, like basic needs if you are feeling sick, if you need the help of a doctor, or if you're just trying to deal with daily or day to day issues like your, your driver's license or if you need to take out a, a bank card or you know, maybe if you've lost your bank card, heaven forbid, you should be able to pick up the phone, call customer service for your bank and explain what has happened and interact with the person all in English. Next, you should be able to adapt your style of speaking depending on who you're talking with.

For the most easiest thing is when you're talking with a co worker or a friend, someone that you know probably your, your, your style of speaking is going to be very like friendly, very informal.

You're, you'll, you're able to engage with them in that kind of way, but you're also able to function well with people that you don know where a little bit more formality is needing needed. You're able to say sir, ma', am, you refrain from using, what is that like colloquial expressions and you refrain from using hopefully swear words.

You're, you're, you're able to, to modify the, the way that you speak so that it, it fits in more with the group of people that you're speaking with.

And it's not just, you know, the very informal style that you have that probably is what you learn first because you interact with, with your friends way more than you do with people that you don't know necessarily so.

But at this level of English, when you have an intermediate level of English, you are able to modify or change your, your language style depending on the situation that you're in.

Like the way you'll speak with your doctor when you're trying to explain what's wrong with you, you're probably not using the kind of language that you would use. If you're talking to your best, your best buddy, right? You're going to be a little bit more formal with your doctor is what I'm getting at.

And at this level, you are able to distinguish between those relationships and your language skills are strong enough that you can use language that is appropriate in each setting. Now, having said all that, being able to engage in each of those situations doesn't mean that you're doing it perfectly.

It doesn't mean that you're error free. It doesn't mean that you're not making grammar mistakes or screwing up with your vocabulary. Not at all.

Even native speakers make mistakes when they're using their English. It happens to everyone all the time.

And at no time in everything that I was saying to you, I wasn't saying that your language skills are perfect when you're doing these things.

And I was leaving this to the last because it's really important for you to hear when you are interacting with these people or in these situations, you're not doing it in a perfect, error free way.

But what is different about this level is that when you do make those vocabulary mistakes or when you do, you know, use the wrong verb tense or make a similar mistake somehow in the way that you're expressing your ideas, those mistakes aren't serious enough, they're not big enough that they completely wreck your communication. Like the idea that you're trying to get across to somebody still comes across. They're able to understand what you're asking for.

The conversation doesn't grind to a halt because you made such a big mistake that the other person has no idea what you're even talking about. So at that level, at CLB level seven, your mistakes happen.

Maybe definitely not as frequently as at a beginner level, but those mistakes aren't bad enough that it kind of derails the communication process. That's something else to keep in mind as you're thinking about these descriptions of what you're able to do. Compare them.

To compare what I've been just what we've just been talking about to how you use your English each day and think about the last couple of times you made mistakes.

Were the mistakes big enough that you totally had to stop and try all over again or were you able to just keep going and the other person was able to understand what you were trying to say? That's what I'm talking about here. We're making mistakes, but those mistakes aren't serious to the point where you lose the other person. Okay?

So that's another indicator that you probably have an intermediate level of English. Mistakes are happening, but they're not serious enough to totally derail the communication process.

And now for the last, and I think one of the most important ways that you can identify that you have achieved a CLB level 7 or an intermediate level of English. And that is you are an independent English learner and user. And what that means is that you are no longer depending on a teacher.

You're no longer depending on being in a classroom for you to be building your English skills. It doesn't mean that you never work with a teacher and you never go to class. No, that's not what I'm saying.

What I am saying though is that you're not waiting for them to be with you. You're not waiting to be in class to be using your English.

You're not waiting to be in the presence of a teacher or a tutor for you to be working on your English skills. You are using your English every day and you're doing it on purpose. That's what I mean by an independent English learner and English speaker.

So do a check in with yourself. Ask. Think about it. Am I using my English daily with people who only speak English? Hmm.

If I'm doing that daily, that's a good indicator that I could be at an intermediate level of English. I'm also not going days and weeks without using my English. I'm not building and staying inside of a first language bubble.

When I'm at this level, I am out there and I am freely and regularly using my English. I'm not waiting to be in a class to do so.

I see the whole world outside as my English class, not that place that I go to in a school or on a zoom call. That's not my practice time. My practice time is Monday to Friday or Monday to Sunday when I'm out doing my regular day to day things.

That's when I'm using my English all the time. I'm not in this little compartment.

This is where like probably a lot of beginner level English learners live, where they only use their English when they're in English class, everything else they do in their first language, but an intermediate level and above speaker or someone who's aiming towards being that is actively using their English all the time, with or without, especially without an English teacher or an English class. So I hope that that helps you to think through what you are able to do on a day to day basis with your English.

If you see yourself being able to do each of those things regularly, then that could be a good indication that you are at a CLB level of 7. And you can probably expect to get a score of 7 or so on the CELPIP exam before you actually take it. Like you can have that confidence.

I think that you'll be able to achieve that level. And that leads to the next part of this person's question. They were asking how long should I be preparing in order to get a 7?

Like I said before, you should already have an intermediate level of English in order to expect that you'll score a seven. I hope that that's what's coming clearly through this. Studying for the CELPIP exam to achieve a 7 isn't the way to approach this.

The CELPIP is designed to tell you what your current level of English is and studying for the exam. I've shared it before on this podcast. Studying hard for the exam isn't going to bump you, you know, from a 5 or a 6 up to a 7 probably.

But what will help you to get from a 5 up to a 7 is building your level of English over time. But if you're confident, like what I what I was thinking about with the, with the Scouts, you know, how you would do things to earn those badges.

If you believe that you have achieved the, the skills, if you can demonstrate the skills of an intermediate level speaker like what I was just describing in here, then if you know that you can do it.

If you've consistently been seeing yourself being an independent English speaker, if you've consistently seen yourself making mistakes, but those mistakes aren't stopping that conversation from happening. You know, they're not derailing everything and everybody goes quiet and you get stuck and you don't know what to say.

If you are able to consistently adapt your speaking skills depending on who you're talking with in a formal situation or an informal situation, if you're able to express your ideas and give reasons and explanations for them in a variety of settings, and if you're able to engage in most day to day conversations with people that you know as well as with people that you don't know in English, then chances are you have that level already. You have the CLB level 7. If that's the case for you, if you're sure that you are meeting those.

They're not objectives necessarily, but if you're pretty sure that you are hitting those skills that you're able to do those things, then maybe consider preparing for your CELPIP exam for a month or two. Most of my students have taken three months to prepare or less.

Between one and three months is a good preparation window just so that you can get used to what the exam is going to be like and that you can get used to the way that you need to, for example, speak to a machine. Like what I'm doing here, I'm speaking into my computer. That's something that takes a lot of practice to get used to.

And if you're not prepared for it, if you're not used to it, that action of being, of needing to speak to machine, to a machine and not to another human being can be what throws you off. It can be the thing that lowers your score. When your skills are strong enough to achieve the score that you need to.

A prep course, an effective prep course is going to help you with skills like that being able to speak with a non human, like recording, recording your answers into a computer, not to a person. It's going to help you with skimming and scanning, for example, with your reading skills.

It's going to help you to learn how to brainstorm ideas quickly and effectively so that you have things to talk about. It's going to help you to learn how to give your answers inside the correct amount of time that each question on the exam gives you.

That's what a prep course does. It's not designed to increase your level of English.

It's designed to help you to, to know what to expect on the exam and to prepare for the styles of questions that you'll be facing and how to respond to them effectively. And like I said before, how long does that take?

For most people, in my experience, between one and three months, depending on how deep you want to go with each one, or depending on how much trouble one of those either speaking skills or listening skills or reading skills or writing skills. For some people, one of those skills or multiples of those skills are harder for them than other ones.

So they just need a little bit more time to prepare.

What I don't want for you and what I see a lot of people do, unfortunately is not give themselves enough time because they assume that it's going to be easy that all it is is just a simple exam. And I don't need to get ready for this. I use my English all the time, my friend.

Even if you use your English all the time, the exam itself can be like. The way the exam works can be the obstacle for you. And a good prep course will help you to clear that obstacle and let your English skills shine.

So my recommendation for anyone, depending on, you know, where you are, with your confidence levels, with doing things like, you know, responding inside of a certain period of time and talking to a computer, not to a person, usually one month of prep, up to three months of prep is the average that I see people doing. And like I said, what I don't want to see you do is give yourself just a week or two weeks to get ready.

I don't think that that's going to be enough time for you. Not because, you know, I think that you should pay more money in order for you to, you know, spend more time learning how to do this.

That's not the point of this at all. It's about giving yourself the best chance you possibly can to do well on the exam. Like, I think about it like a Runway.

You know that an airplane goes on before it takes off, it builds up speed so that it can take off. And the longer your Runway before you have to fly, before you have to get that result that you're preparing for on the, for the celpip.

The longer a Runway you can give yourself through preparation, the better. And of course, having already the right level of English to achieve the score that you're searching for, that you're working towards.

I hope that all made sense. The idea of today was simply to give you some things that you can be checking yourself before you take the exam.

You should be able to be looking through these descriptors that I was going over with your speaking skills. There are other ones for your listening, other ones for your writing, other ones for your reading as well.

But you should be able to do each of those things very well and on a consistent, regular basis in order to be confident that you'll achieve a CLB level of 7 or an intermediate level. Sound good? Thank you so much for listening to today's episode.

I hope that it has helped you, especially if you've been working or wanting to work towards getting a CLB level 7 on the celpip exam. Thank you so much for listening. I hope that you'll come back again next week. Bye. Bye.
