Individuals applying to colleges or universities must take iTEP Academic via the iTEP online testing service, or at a certified Test Center.

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

During the exam, iTEP’s multi-layered security combines AI-assisted monitoring with live proctor engagement. Once the exam is submitted, the tiered grading and review process verifies results before they are released.

Administration

Institutions that accept iTEP have taken an important step toward providing students with a convenient alternative to entry. iTEP makes it easier for prospective students to report English language proficiency to your institution.
