Synthesised from 125 scored attempts across 6 listening parts. Analysis follows official CELPIP Listening question types, timing targets, and one-play audio conditions.
Executive summary
The verdict, drawn from your pooled Listening practice data and official CELPIP Listening structure.
You’re comfortably at level 9, close to your goal of level 10. Your strongest skill is quickly grasping the main idea and solving problems, just like when you listen to a short instruction and immediately figure out what to do.
The biggest challenge is Task 6: Listening for Viewpoints (understanding people’s opinions and attitudes), where you score only 57%. In real life this means you miss subtle opinions and body language when following a debate or a news analysis, which can hold you back from reaching level 10.
Question-type profile
These percentages show which question types you answer correctly most often, and which ones need more practice.
General Meaning questions ask for the main idea or big picture. To answer them better, focus on what the whole paragraph or passage is mostly about, not just one small detail.
Specific Information questions ask for one exact detail from the text or audio. To answer them better, look for names, numbers, dates, places, or clearly stated facts.
Inference questions ask what the text suggests without saying it directly. To answer them better, look for clues in the tone, details, and overall meaning before choosing your answer.
Accuracy & listening signals
Simple checks that show where you are losing marks and whether timing is making the part harder.

Improve Listening for Viewpoints
Task 6: Listening for Viewpoints (understanding people’s opinions and attitudes) is your lowest accuracy at 57%. Practise this task to improve your ability to catch subtle viewpoints in debates and news analysis. Focus on noting tone and body language cues within the 8‑minute timing target.
Target Specific Information
Specific Information (exact details) is your weakest question type at 68.6% accuracy. Work on Task 3: Listening for Information, which gives you 6 minutes to capture key facts. Pay close attention to names, dates, and numbers while taking notes.
Strengthen Discussion Listening
Task 5: Listening to Discussion (opinions, disagreement, emotions) is a solid area but can support your overall listening. Practice this task to strengthen inference and note‑taking under the 9‑minute timing target.
How your CELPIP Listening level is worked out
Listening is counted, not judged. Each question has one right answer, so your level is how many you got right, and your report shows exactly which ones went wrong.
The report groups them by question type, the same three the Reading section uses. CELPIP asks three kinds of question here: General Meaning, which wants the main idea; Specific Information, which wants one detail that is actually stated; and Inference, which asks what the passage suggests without saying it outright.
What makes Listening different is that you cannot go back. A Reading passage sits there while you check; audio does not. So misses here are often about attention and note-taking rather than vocabulary, and seeing which type you lose marks on tells you whether to work on catching detail as it passes or on holding the overall argument in your head.
Questions about Listening progress
Why do I score lower on Listening than on Reading?
Very common, and it is usually about pace rather than English. Reading lets you re-read; Listening gives you one pass at someone else's speed. The two are scored the same way, so the gap between them is worth reading as a signal about pace.
Does the report tell me which part I am losing marks in?
Yes, by part and by question type. Those are different questions: one tells you which situation is hard for you, the other tells you which kind of thinking is hard, and you can be weak in one without being weak in the other.
Can I replay the audio while practising?
Practice is for learning, so use it however helps. A mock test runs to real conditions, which is the point of taking one, and that is the attempt to trust when you want to know where you stand.
