Is trying harder the answer?


Hi Reader,

I recently saw a post on Reddit from someone who has been stuck at the same score for the CELPIP for their past 7 attempts.

That's a lot of CELPIP tests.

And to be honest, I admire their hard work, dedication and their attitude: I'm not giving up!

But here's the question this person, and you too if you are in the same situation, should be asking right now:

What is going wrong with my CELPIP prep system?

This is a huge question to ask, but few people actually do it.

Instead, they keep trying harder. Studying harder. Practicing harder. And yet they still get the same scores.

In this week's podcast, I take a closer look at what you need to do to break out of being stuck with the same CELPIP score after multiple failed attempts.

The great news? It's not about studying or working harder.

Like I mentioned a moment ago, it's about changing your system! Your way of doing things to get ready for your exam just might be what is holding you back.

Hi Reader, It's been one of THOSE weeks. Busy work week and busy back pain for me, as well as another physiotherapy visit today. And today, I experienced a new treatment: Acupuncture! *Cue dramatic music here!* Have you ever had it done before? (I sincerely hope you haven't needed it.) It actually wasn't that bad. Not, Wow! I want to do that again and again...but not bad considering I am a major wimp when it comes to needles. (Are you nervous around needles, too?) Best of all, it actually...
