CELPIP Tips: Asking Chat GPT to Create a CELPIP Prep Routine
What happens when you ask chat GPT to make a study routine for you? This week we’re sharing an article that was originally published on celpip.ca, where the team at CELPIP asked Chat GPT to create a 4 week routine to help someone prepare for the CELPIP reading test, specifically parts 3 and 4. The program was then refined with input from a CELPIP Preparation Expert.
