Free CELPIP practice test: one real Writing task, actually scored
Most free CELPIP pages hand you a sample answer to read. This one scores yours. Write the email below; a report comes back in about 5 seconds.
This page scores 2 answers a day per network connection, separate from the app’s 3 free sessions per device.
Task 1 — Writing an Email
The two washing machines in your apartment building have been out of order for three weeks. The building manager put a paper sign on them and nothing has happened since. You now take your laundry to a laundromat four blocks away.
Write an email of about 150-200 words to your building manager, Ms. Reyes.
In your email:
- Explain which machines are broken and how long they have been out of order.
- Describe how this has affected you and the other tenants.
- Say what you would like the manager to do, and by when.
The exam gives 27 minutes and asks for 150–200 words. The timer and counter show both; neither stops you.

Where this score is solid, and where it is not
What we measured. Writing, August 2026: over 108 scored answers at CLB 3–8, the estimate landed within one band 95% of the time, and 99% of the marked phrases were exact quotes from the candidate’s own text.
What we have not. Nothing above CLB 8, which is why a high result here is a band with no point estimate.
What it is not. A model’s estimate, not an official score.
Questions about this free task
Is this really free, and do I have to sign up?
Yes, and no. There is no card, no account and no email address on this page. Scoring costs us money for every answer, so this page scores 2 answers per day per network connection. The counter resets at midnight UTC.
Is this an official CELPIP test?
No. This is an independent practice tool. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Paragon Testing Enterprises, Prometric, IRCC or the Government of Canada, and it cannot issue an official score. The task follows the published Writing Task 1 format; the score is an estimate produced by an AI model.
How accurate is the CLB estimate?
On our own Writing calibration run in August 2026, across 108 scored answers in the CLB 3–8 band, the estimate landed within one band of the reference 95% of the time, and 99% of the quoted corrections were exact quotes from the candidate's own text.
We have not published an equivalent measurement above CLB 8, so above that the report shows a band and no point estimate.
What happens to the email I write here?
It is sent to the scoring service, scored, and returned to your browser. It is not written to disk and never appears in our logs, which keep counts only: the task, the word count and whether the request succeeded. Close the tab and the text is gone.
Does using this page cost me one of the app's free sessions?
No. The 2 scored answers a day on this page and the 3 free scored sessions the app gives a new device are separate counters. Using one does not spend the other.
