How CELPIP Reading works
A quick look at the official CELPIP Reading format.
Practice every part of the official CELPIP Reading section: a personal email (Part 1), a diagram with an email reply (Part 2), an informational article in several paragraphs (Part 3), and an opinion piece with a reader comment (Part 4). Every passage is timed like the real exam and scored right away, with answer explanations for the multiple-choice and dropdown questions.
The CELPIP Reading section is 55 to 60 minutes long, with 38 questions across four parts. Time management matters. Most test-takers find Part 4 (Viewpoints) the densest, because it pairs an opinion article with a reader comment that you have to compare carefully.
Practising one part at a time builds the reading skills each part needs. Working through complete tests trains the pacing you need to finish the last passage without rushing.

FAQ
CELPIP Reading questions
The Reading section is 55 to 60 minutes long, with 38 questions across four parts. Time management is critical. Most test-takers find Part 4 (Viewpoints) the most demanding.
You read a personal email (Part 1), a diagram with an email reply (Part 2), an informational article in several paragraphs (Part 3), and an opinion piece with a reader comment (Part 4).
Yes. Pick a single part to drill, or work through complete tests in order. Both give the same instant feedback and answer explanations.
Parts 1, 2, and 4 include reply questions where you choose the best word from a dropdown. Each correct dropdown is worth one point, and the answer key explains every wrong option.
Every Reading passage matches the length, difficulty and CLB level of the official CELPIP test, and the question types match one for one.
