  1. Have you taken the IELTS again and again? What is your weakness? In which skill do you need to improve the most: reading, writing, listening or speaking?

  2. Have you taken the CELBAN? What was the feedback you received when it came to areas for improvement in writing and speaking?


Step THREE: Determine the best study strategy for you

Are you more motivated and committed to studying when:

  1. You are studying alone?

  2. You are in a group setting?

What are Medical Collocations and why are they important to know?

Over ten years of working with Internationally Educated Health Professionals, beyond errors in grammar, organization and time management everyone has errors when it comes to medical collocations.

Collocations are phases that we use, words that we string together, on a regular basis. They are such a part of our language that we do not even know they exist. It was not until computers started to analyze our speaking and writing patterns that collocations came to be known. For example, we can "catch a cold" but we "get a fever." We do not "catch a fever."

And yet, many Internationally Educated Health Professionals get medical collocations confused.

Thus, CELBANPrep has collected over 10, 000 collocations organizing them into more than 20 sub topics to create two volumes. (A third one is forthcoming.) Get your FREE sampler. It is FREE with Kindle Unlimited. 🔗

Whether you prepare for the CELBAN with CELBANPrep, memorizing Medical Collocations will advance your career, creating a smoother and easier path for you regardless of what stage you are at in the licensure process: in any and all medical professions!

How does CELBANPrep Writing help me increase my score for Writing?

Internationally Educated Health Professionals do not get required scores on their communication exams - writing and speaking - for several reasons.

  1. They are using grammar incorrectly.

  2. They don't know how to organize their ideas in a clear fashion.

  3. They don't know how to manage their time so that the complete the writing piece in time.

  4. Very few people know how to edit their own work.

  5. Fewer still have time at the end of the exam to look over what they have written and correct any glaring mistakes.

  6. The last, and least important factor, is not being familiar with the exam format. This is an important factor. It is important to know how the CELBAN differs from the CELPIP which differs from the IELTS. But, #1-5 are even greater influences on determining whether someone gets the required score or not.

Memorization is not the answer! You can not memorize your way through learning a language and communicating in it clearly. You MUST learn the language => and take the time to do so!
