If you're stuck getting sixes or sevens on the CELPIP exam, don’t stress; you're not failing. It’s a clear sign that your English proficiency is at an intermediate level and it’s crucial to acknowledge that. Instead of just grinding away at studying harder or repeatedly taking the exam, we need to shift our focus to improving our overall English skills over time. I share five practical tips to help you break free from that six or seven cycle, starting with immersing yourself in English and actively engaging in conversations. Let’s explore how building connections and practicing in real-life situations can truly elevate your language skills and eventually boost those scores.

Takeaways:

  • Getting stuck at a CELPIP score of six or seven doesn't mean failure; it's a signal of your current English proficiency level.
  • To truly improve your CELPIP scores, focus on enhancing your overall English skills over time rather than solely cramming for the exam.
  • Surrounding yourself with English speakers and actively engaging in conversations is crucial to breaking out of your first language bubble.
  • Joining clubs or groups related to your interests provides a fun way to practice English and build social connections in your new community.
