Boston Educational Services has been gratified by the enthusiastic reception given the iTEP by its early-adopters.  The following are typical of observations made by those who have either used or reviewed the iTEP:

“The iTEPTM is a great alternative to the TOEFL®, TOEIC®, and IELTS® tests.  This 90-minute, Internet-based exam is welcome proof that you can achieve accurate assessment of English proficiency in less time and at a significantly lower cost.  iTEP measures all key skills (Reading, Listening, Writing, Speaking), and features an intuitive, user-friendly interface, the convenience of on-demand scheduling via the Internet, and results presented in a clear, one-page score report.”

“It’s not often that one sees a fresh, credible, and innovative entry into the small catalog of English proficiency tests suitable for university-level admissions purposes.  The iTEP exam, which I have recently reviewed, must be considered a serious candidate.  I find it to be well-conceived, comprehensive, and user-friendly.  International applicants will appreciate its convenience, efficiency (it requires only 90 minutes), and affordable price.”

-- Carol J. McAllister, Assistant Director of Admissions and Records, California State University, Northridge

“In our experience, iTEP provides an accurate and reliable assessment of non-native students’ ability to function in an English-speaking educational environment. Although Santa Monica College is one of the earlier adopters of the iTEP exam, we expect that as it is introduced to additional institutions, it will soon be widely recognized throughout the United States.”

“Having thoroughly acquainted myself with the features of iTEP and considering its merits in comparison with the other English tests we recognize (TOEFL and IELTS), I added iTEP to our list of approved English language proficiency tests in summer of 2009.   Based on my review of and experience with iTEP, I am pleased to recommend it.”

“iTEP offers significant benefits to both international applicants and U.S. colleges and universities.  Applicants like the fact that an individual iTEP exam can be scheduled within 3 days, and that the test costs only $75.  Our office appreciates the 5-day turnaround of results and the clear, informative score report.”
