Practice this task →Why drill a single CELPIP Speaking task
Full mock exams are great for stamina and pacing, but they spread your attention across all 8 tasks at once. Task-by-task drills are the opposite: focused, short, repeatable.
Fix the weakest task
If your last mock fell apart on Task 6, repeating it ten times beats taking ten new mocks. Drills let you stay on one task until it clicks.
Shorter sessions
Each drill is two minutes of real exam timing plus playback. Easy to slot into a coffee break, a commute, or before bed without committing to a full 20-minute mock.
Pattern recognition
CELPIP repeats prompt structures across questions — advice for a friend, describing a scene, persuading someone. Drilling a task makes the patterns obvious so you stop reinventing every answer.
How task drills work
Pick a task
Every task tile shows your progress so far. Start with the one you haven't touched yet, or grind a task you keep struggling with.
Choose a question
Each task has multiple questions with short summaries (no prompt spoilers). Tap one to start its prep timer.
Speak and replay
Record under real CELPIP timing, listen back immediately, and decide what to fix on the next attempt. Completed questions show a green check across the site.
Practice question FAQ
Should I drill tasks or take full mocks?
Both — but in different phases. Early in your prep, drill tasks to learn the structure of each one. Closer to test day, switch to full mocks for stamina and pacing under real timing.
Are these real CELPIP questions?
No — we don't redistribute official Paragon prompts. Every question here is an original prompt written to match the official CELPIP Speaking patterns for each task type. The timing, format, and instruction wording mirror the real exam.
How is each task timed?
Same as the real CELPIP Speaking exam: preparation, then recording. Most tasks give you 30 seconds of prep and 60 seconds to speak. Tasks 1 and 7 give you 90 seconds to speak. Task 5 includes an extra 60-second selection phase. Task 6 gives you 60 seconds of prep.
Will my progress save?
Yes — completed questions are saved in this browser on this device. There's no account yet; if you clear your browser data or switch devices, progress resets.
Can I redo a question?
Absolutely. There's no penalty and no limit. Drilling the same question multiple times is one of the most effective ways to internalize a CELPIP task's structure.
