STAY AWAY FROM CELPREP
As a first-time CELPIP test taker, I wanted to share my experience with two different preparation services in case it helps others.
I spent some time using “CelPrep”, expecting it to prepare me for the actual CELPIP exam. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. While the platform offers a large number of practice exercises, many of them appeared to be AI-generated and did not reflect the style, complexity, or question types that I encountered on the real exam.
What surprised me most was how little my preparation on CelPrep translated to the actual test. The practice questions felt quite different from the real CELPIP experience, leaving me feeling underprepared despite the hours I invested.
My experience with their customer service was equally disappointing. Responses were unhelpful and unprofessional, which further reduced my confidence in the quality of the service.
By contrast, “Exam Hero” was an excellent resource. Its practice materials were much more representative of the actual CELPIP exam, and I found the questions to be very similar in format and difficulty to what I encountered on test day. If you're looking for realistic preparation, I would recommend Exam Hero based on my personal experience.
Of course, this is only my personal experience, but I hope it helps future CELPIP test takers make a more informed decision when choosing study resources.
