CELPIP tip

Read this before you start

Viewpoints presents two texts on the same topic. Track each author's stance separately (supports, opposes, qualifies). Inference items ask what someone would agree with—not a word-for-word quote from either side.

Use the Viewpoints tips for "Semester-Long Courses vs. Accelerated Courses."
