CELPIP Full Mock 1
The all-ones mock: test 1 from every section, run in the official CELPIP-General order. Three of its four sections are rated Easy, which makes it the gentlest full-length run on the site and the right place to learn the sequence.
CELPIP Full Mock 1 takes test 1 from each of the four sections and runs them back to back in the order the real exam uses: Listening, Reading, Writing, then Speaking. It is the only mock on the site built entirely from ones, and it is deliberately the mildest material here, because a first full sitting should teach you what two and a half hours of sustained concentration costs you rather than what your weakest section looks like under fatigue.
What is inside Full Mock 1
Listening 1 is six clips from Halifax and Dartmouth: a problem taken to the front desk of a Dartmouth community centre, two community garden plot holders who meet at a garden centre in May, a wharf conversation about the summer ferry out to Gannet Island, a news item on the Halifax library system dropping its late fees, three organisers on why the farmers market is losing its Saturday crowd, and a talk on how the municipality clears snow and ice from its roads.
Reading 1 opens with a long letter from Priya, three weeks into a move to Halifax and still tripping over a crate of winter boots, then a diagram of commuter transit passes to apply to an email, a passage on the Canadian beaver, and an article about a public library that put out a shelf of cordless drills and watched them vanish in an hour.
Writing 1 is a formal email to a moving company customer service manager about a cracked glass cabinet and a missing box of kitchen items, which has to carry the move date, the booking number, the amount paid and a date by which you expect a reply. Task 2 is the City Development Survey: a shopping complex against a recreational park on the same four million dollars.
Speaking 1 is eight recorded tasks: advice to a cousin buying her first laptop, a time you helped a friend or a neighbour, a busy farmers market to describe and then predict, an electric cargo bike argued against the bike you chose, a birthday cake collected with the wrong name written on it, an opinion on mobile phones for young children, and a floor lamp with three twisted brass rods and three different shades.

General or General LS
You pick the format on the start screen. CELPIP-General sits all four sections and is the one used for permanent residence and most professional purposes. CELPIP-General LS sits Listening and Speaking only, the shorter format used for Canadian citizenship. Full Mock 1 runs either way, and in LS mode you sit Listening 1 and Speaking 1, both rated Easy.
How each section is scored
Listening and Reading are marked the moment you finish them, against CLB-aligned answer keys, because each of those 76 questions has exactly one right answer. Writing and Speaking go to expert evaluation against the official 2026 descriptors, four criteria each, and come back with a band on every criterion. Every skill gets a CLB band from 1 to 12 and the overall band is the average of them.
Free, all four sections in the exam order, starting with Listening 1 in Dartmouth.
FAQs
What is in CELPIP General Mock Test 1?
Listening test 1, Reading test 1, Writing test 1 and Speaking test 1, run back to back in the official exam order. The listening, reading and speaking tests are rated Easy and the writing test is rated Medium.
Is this a good first CELPIP mock test to take?
Yes. It uses the easiest test in three of the four sections, so it teaches you the running order and the stamina without also being the hardest material on the site. Full Mock 3 is the demanding one if you want the other end of the range.
What does the writing section of Full Mock 1 ask for?
A formal email to a moving company about a damaged cabinet and a missing box, then a survey response choosing between a shopping complex and a park. You get 27 minutes for the email and 26 for the survey, and the timer advances on its own.
Do I have to pay for this CELPIP-General mock test?
No. The whole mock is free, including the instant marking on Listening and Reading and the expert evaluation of your writing and speaking answers. No card is needed.
