HABYKA
Find out if you are ready for CLB 9 before you pay for another CELPIP attempt.
HABYKA is a CELPIP Speaking and Writing simulator with an AI level prediction by the four official criteria. A retake costs CAD 314-344. The first check is free.
For Express Entry candidates with CELPIP Speaking or Writing at CLB 7-8 who need 9.
Your four official scores, about one minute, no registration, no card.
The situation
Stuck at 8, and nobody says why
You know this:
- Listening and Reading are at 9 or above. Speaking or Writing came back at 8 again.
- A retake costs CAD 314-344, needs a new booking and at least five days of waiting. A re-evaluation is a bet with a six-month window.
- CLB 9 on both skills is worth 16-40 CRS points. In 2026 the CEC cut-offs sat at 507-523.
- Practice apps show a score, not the criterion behind it, and show the template before you answer.
You book again, you practise the same way, and the same 8 comes back.
“Same 8 in Speaking. Do I book a fourth attempt or ask for a re-evaluation?”
The question behind most retakes. The answer depends on which of the four criteria holds the level, and the official score report does not say.

Why 8, not 9
A conservative level by the four official criteria, the criterion that holds it, examples from your answer, and the same answer one level up with the differences marked.

General words where a 9 uses precise ones: the same answer one level up is shown next to yours with the differences marked.
What else is different
A range, not a flattering number
The prediction stays conservative and is tuned on the official scores users report after their exam.
Exam conditions, not a practice mode
Computer, CELPIP timing, automatic recording start, nothing to look at before you answer, no second take.
Two answer modes, recommended by level
Structure for 8 and above, Template for 7. Both explain Paragon's rule on memorised answers and flag template-like phrases.
Re-evaluation or retake, side by side
The rules and dates in one place: six-month window, five-day gap, draw calendar, permit expiry. Options, no promises.
Passes, not a subscription
7 or 30 days, nothing renews, a 7-day no-questions refund, and a price below one retake.
Honest exits
Already at 9 everywhere, a gap language cannot close, or a re-evaluation more likely to help? The check says so and sells nothing.
The product
From your scores to the exam date, step by step
Steps 1 to 4 are free. Step 5 is a pass priced below one retake. Nothing renews by itself.
