可以回頭改答案嗎?
在 Part 1 之內可以,時間沒到隨時改。但考試一進入下一部分就永遠回不了頭,所以要在部分之內檢查,不要指望之後再看。

CELPIP Reading (Demo) - Part 1 1/1
Time remaining: 11 minutes
Read the following message.
Dear Mr. Aldana,
My name is Priya Shah, and I have lived in the Brookfield neighbourhood for almost six years, just a short walk from your shelter on Camden Street. Last Saturday I attended the open house you held for the shelter's tenth anniversary, and I left with a very good impression. Your colleague Rosa showed my daughter and me around the new cat wing, and she mentioned that the shelter is looking for weekend volunteers this fall.
I would like to apply to be one of them. When I was a college student in Winnipeg, I volunteered at a rescue centre for two years, mostly walking dogs and helping with adoption events, and I have missed that kind of work ever since we moved here. My weekdays are busy because I manage a small bakery downtown, but my Saturday and Sunday mornings are free, and I could commit to one four hour shift every weekend.
There is one thing I should mention. My daughter, Anika, is eleven, and she is the reason I finally wrote this email. She has been asking to volunteer together ever since the open house. Rosa thought children could help with some tasks if a parent stays with them, but she was not sure of the minimum age, and she suggested I check with you. If Anika cannot take part yet, I am still happy to volunteer on my own, though I know she will be disappointed.
Could you also tell me what the application involves? Your website mentions an orientation session and a short interview, but the dates listed there are from last spring, so I assume they have not been updated. I filled out the online form once already; please let me know if I should submit it again.
Thank you for everything the shelter does. Adopting our terrier, Biscuit, from you three years ago was one of the best decisions our family has made, and I would love to give something back.
Warm regards,
Priya Shah

Part 1 怎麼計分
閱讀由電腦計分,答對一題得一分,答錯不扣分。Part 1 佔閱讀 38 題計分題中的 11 題,全卷最容易的部分同時也是一大塊分數。
逐題計點
每題只有對錯之分,留空算錯。因為答錯不扣分,用猜的都好過留空,至少保住四分之一的機會。
38 題換一個 Level
38 題計分題的原始分數會換算成 CELPIP Level 1 到 12,並按題目難度校準,確保不同場次的考卷一樣公平。
CELPIP Level 等於 CLB
換算是一比一:CELPIP 9 就是 CLB 9。以快速通道常見的 CLB 9 為目標,大約要答對 38 題中的 31 題,也就是全卷只容錯約五到七題。
可能有不計分部分
一個額外的實驗部分可能出現在閱讀任何位置,不計分,但外觀與計分部分完全一樣,所以每一部分都要當真來答。
行得通的 11 分鐘讀法
預讀原信約 30 秒
先弄清楚誰寫給誰、為什麼寫、寫信人有沒有提出請求。「寫信人想要什麼」幾乎每卷必考,在考場提供的紙上明確記下來。
先讀題目1 到 2 分鐘
掃一遍前 6 題,圈出改寫不了的關鍵字:人名、數字、引號裡的字眼。其餘的題幹和選項,預期全部會被改寫。
答第 1 到 6 題約 4 分鐘
用關鍵字定位到相關段落,再細讀前後文。正確選項是原文的改寫,永遠不會逐字照抄,所以要找意思,不是找字眼。
補完回信約 4 到 5 分鐘
讀回信,按意思和語氣補 5 個空格,四個選項通常文法上都通。最後留 30 秒檢查每一題都已作答。
螢幕上會看到的指令
這些是 Part 1 的原句螢幕指令和最常見的題幹句式。練到一眼認出,考試當天的時間就能全花在信件本身,而不是讀指示。
Read the following message.Choose the best option according to the information given in the message.Here is a response to the message.Complete the response by filling in the blanks.The writer's main purpose is...probably / most likely
會丟分的錯誤
對字眼不對意思Specific Information
官方明言正確答案永遠不會用和原文一模一樣的字眼寫出。逐字重複原信字眼的選項,多半是陷阱而不是答案。
掃過去,漏了改期Specific Information
信件慣常把日期、時間或計畫的變動埋在段落中間。只讀開頭就作答,這些題就直接送給干擾項。
只用文法解空格Second Text
每個空格的四個選項通常文法上都成立。正確的那個是唯一在意思和語氣上同時貼合兩封信的選項,單靠文法定不出來。
混淆人物、時態和動作Inference
把寫信人當收信人、把確認當改期、把過去的事當未來的計畫,正是干擾項的設計材料。看到名字和時態就放慢。
讓時間帶走題目Time Management
Part 1 時間一到便永遠翻頁,留空的下拉選單就是零分。一題卡超過一分鐘,先填最有把握的猜測再前進,部分之內隨時可以改。
關於 Part 1 的常見問題
答錯會扣分嗎?
不會。計分只算答對的題,答錯沒有損失,留空也不會得分。官方建議每題都要答,用猜的也有百分之二十五的機會。
想拿 CLB 9 最多可以錯幾題?
大約要在 38 題計分題中答對 31 題以上,也就是全卷只容錯約五到七題。Part 1 是四部分中最容易的,高分考生應以接近全對為目標。
