What are the advantages of iTEP?

Our tests provide detailed score reports with individual assessment for linguistic sub-skills, all aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) range. iTEP tests are available anywhere, 24/7 with scores returned within 24 hours. The family of iTEP tests is vast, comprehensive and offers customized content for secondary and post-secondary level institutions.

Where can my students take the iTEP tests?

Individuals applying to colleges or universities must take iTEP Academic via the iTEP online testing service, or at a certified Test Center. Educational institutions such as Intensive English Programs (IEPs) often license iTEP Academic for use on their campuses. The iTEP Placement exams can be administered on-site or remotely.

How long are iTEP scores valid?

iTEP Academic test results for college and university admissions are valid for two years from the test date.

Scoring

The test will determine an overall proficiency level from 0 (Beginner) to 6 (Mastery), as well as individual proficiency levels from 0 to 6 for each of the skills and sub-skills tested. The overall scores average the results of the skill sections, and for greater accuracy, they are expressed to one decimal point.

Security

iTEP’s FotoSure® software photographs the test-taker throughout the exam, and our Item Bank feature live- streams content.
