iTEP combines AI proctoring with human grading to ensure secure and accurate English testing. iTEP’s security measures ensure that students do not gain any unfair advantages from falsifying information or cheating during the test’s administration. There are several security measures present to ensure the reliability of iTEP score results; these begin at registration.
- iTEP utilizes a rotating item bank that generates test questions randomly. This makes it so no two tests will be the same.
- Test-takers must provide proctors with a government-issued ID upon entering the testing site. A second identity confirmation check occurs during the registration process.
- Reference materials, food, drink, and other personal effects are not permitted in the testing area.
- During the exam, iTEP’s multi-layered security combines AI-assisted monitoring with live proctor engagement. Once the exam is submitted, the tiered grading review process verifies results before they are released.
- Aside from evaluating iTEP’s speaking and writing sections, our graders help in post-test security monitoring by conducting plagiarism scans, checking testing history, and analyzing speaking samples.
- Partner institutions play a part in this stage to ensure they only accept scores forwarded directly from iTEP or, alternatively, making use of the score verification portal.
