CELPIP Reading Questions
CELPIP Reading practice questions on PrepAmigo are split into the four official parts, from the correspondence task through to the two-writer viewpoints set. This page collects all of them in one table: the part each set belongs to, how hard it is, and a link straight into it. The counts underneath come from the live library, so you can see where the bank is deep and where it is thin.

CELPIP Reading at a glance
Reading is the skill where practice volume converts most directly into speed, and speed is most of the battle. The table shows how the published sets divide across Parts 1 to 4. A part with a large count gives you room to build a routine — one set a day for weeks without meeting the same passage twice. A part with a smaller count is better treated as a checklist: finish it, then return to the sets that took you longest.
The difficulty of a set is stored on the set itself, so each part holds material at more than one level. If you are early in preparation, spend the first sessions at the easier end and read for accuracy with no clock running; once you are reliably getting them right, move up and start timing. Changing accuracy and speed in the same session makes it impossible to tell which one moved.

How to practise CELPIP Reading effectively
Read the description before the passage
Sets are listed with a short description like the ones shown above. Skimming one first is not cheating; it stops you spending your opening minute working out what kind of text you are even looking at, which is a minute you will want back later.
Separate accuracy sessions from speed sessions
Do one run untimed, aiming to get everything right and to understand why each wrong option is wrong. Do the next run against a clock and accept a few losses. Folding both goals into one session usually delivers neither.
Work the part that is slow, not the part that is comfortable
The per-part counts and the difficulty split on this page exist to make that choice concrete. If one part consistently eats your time, open its page from the table and stay there for a block of sessions.
Answer from the text, not from memory
Every answer is somewhere on the page in front of you. The moment you notice yourself reasoning from what sounds plausible rather than from a line you could point at, slow down and go find the line.
Keep a part page open, not a set
The four part pages stay in step with the library and always show what is currently published, so they make a more durable tab than any individual set you happen to be part-way through.
Take the timing plan from the guide
Volume on its own will not fix pacing. For how long each part should take and what each question type is doing, see our CELPIP Reading timing and question-type guide.
CELPIP Reading FAQs
Can I work through these reading sets on a phone?
Yes — sets open in the browser and nothing here needs installing. A larger screen still helps on the parts that put a diagram or a schedule beside the text, simply because you spend less time scrolling between the two of them.
Why is the same difficulty scale used across all four parts?
Because difficulty describes the set, not the part. A hard Part 1 set and a hard Part 3 set are each harder than their easier siblings, but the shared label is not a claim that the two parts make equal demands on you.
How many sets does the table show at once?
Up to one hundred, ordered by title so the list stays stable between visits. The number currently published is shown in the Total counter and again in the per-part breakdown, and the link beneath the table opens the full library.
Should I start at Part 1 and work forwards?
Not necessarily. The parts are numbered by the order they appear in the test, not by how hard they are. Use the breakdown on this page to find the part with the most material and the part you are slowest at, then start where those two overlap.
What changes when I sign in?
The Status column fills in with your own history — completed, in progress or not started — and the summary counters switch from published totals to your numbers. The set list itself is identical either way.
Where do the four part pages fit in?
Each of Parts 1 to 4 has a page of its own, reached from the table above or from the cards at the top. Those pages carry the same table filtered to one format plus material specific to that part. Treat this page as the overview and the part pages as where a working session starts.
