NineWise — I scored a 7 when I needed a 9. Here's why.
Launch week — 50% off any Sprint with code LAUNCH50

I scored a 7 in Speaking when I needed a 9. Nobody could tell me why.

The official report gives you a number, not a reason. So I built what I couldn't find: a tool that scores your Writing and Speaking on the real CELPIP rubric and points at the exact phrase costing you the band — the way a good tutor with a red pen would.

Two scored practices free. No card. About four minutes.

Jaime

Industrial engineer in Vancouver. Went through Express Entry, sat the CELPIP, missed my Speaking target once — built this so you don't have to.

9band est.
Writing · Task 2 scored in 34s
In my opinion, working for a small company is better. I have three years working in a startup and the experience taught me more than any course. → "I've been working there for three years" — Spanish calque, costs you Coherence every time Small teams give you very big responsibilities early. → one precise word beats two weak ones: "substantial"

The report tells you what you scored. It never tells you why.

You pay $315, wait eight days, and get four numbers back. No corrections, no patterns, no idea what to fix before the retake. That gap is where months of Express Entry time quietly disappear.

Same response. Two very different answers.

This is what feedback looks like when it's built to make you better, not just to grade you.

What the official report says
7
Writing. That's it. That's the feedback.
What NineWise says
7 → path to 9
"I have three years working here" — direct translation from Spanish. Flagged 3 times across your last practices.
"very + adjective" ×4 — capping your Vocabulary score. One precise word each time.
Your Task Fulfillment is already at band 9 level. Fix the two patterns above and the score follows.

How it works

Write or speak
Real CELPIP tasks, real timers. Writing Task 1 and 2, all eight Speaking tasks, full Reading and Listening.
Get graded like the exam
Scored on the official rubric — Content, Vocabulary, Readability, Task Fulfillment — with the exact phrases that cost you marked in red pen.
Fix the pattern, not the typo
Your mistakes become drills. Most people repeat the same 3–4 errors — catch the pattern once and it stops costing you on every task.

It doesn't just catch the mistake. It knows why you made it.

A generic grammar checker flags the error. NineWise explains its origin — the structure translated from your first language, the rule your language doesn't have. Currently tuned for Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, Hindi/Punjabi, Japanese, German, Ukrainian, and Russian.

Spanish
I have 5 years living in Canada → I have been living in Canada for 5 years Direct transfer of «tengo 5 años viviendo» — the #1 Writing error for Spanish speakers
Mandarin
I went to bank to open account → I went to the bank to open an account Mandarin has no articles — dropped a/an/the is the most common deduction
Hindi / Punjabi
I am knowing the answer → I know the answer Progressive used with stative verbs — natural in Hindi, penalized in English

Why the guarantee? — because I missed my own target once, and the retake fee wasn't the real cost. The months of delay were. If it happens to you, your prep shouldn't cost you twice.

What you're probably wondering

Are these the real exam questions?

No — be skeptical of anyone who claims theirs are. NineWise uses original content that replicates the CELPIP's format, timing, and difficulty. Memorizing leaked answers doesn't work and can get a result cancelled.

Can AI really score like the CELPIP?

The AI scores against the exam's published criteria and gives you an estimated band. It's not the official rater — but instant feedback on every practice beats discovering your weaknesses when the real result arrives, $315 later.

Why is there no subscription?

Because your goal is to stop needing this. You prep, you take the test, you move on. A recurring charge makes no sense for an exam with a date.

My first language isn't listed. Does it still work?

Yes — full scoring and feedback work for any language background. The L1-specific notes currently cover eight languages and grow from there.

Two free scored practices. Four minutes. If the feedback doesn't tell you something a $60/hour tutor missed, close the tab and keep my respect.
