Encountering an unfamiliar word on the CELPIP test doesn't always mean you're stuck. Sometimes, you can figure out its meaning by looking at the prefix, root, and suffix.

That said, don't rely on word parts alone. English has exceptions, and some words don't follow the usual patterns. The key is to combine your knowledge of word forms with the context of the sentence to choose the most accurate meaning.

Most students lose marks because they choose the first answer they hear. But in CELPIP, the speaker often changes their mind... and that's exactly where the test tries to trick you.

If you don't know what to listen for, you'll keep falling for the same distractors, even if your English is strong.
Watch this reel to learn the simple clue that helps you catch these changes before it's too late.
