What is the ITP?

Two English language proficiency tests are offered through the Institutional Testing Program (ITP)the TOEFL® ITP, designed for intermediate and advanced students of English, and the Pre-TOEFL®, for beginning- to intermediate-level students. The tests are based on past editions of paper-based TOEFL tests, making them an excellent assessment and learning tool for individuals who will eventually be taking the TOEFL.

Both the TOEFL ITP and the Pre-TOEFL are multiple-choice tests that measure listening comprehension, structure and written expression, and reading comprehension. The Pre-TOEFL also includes vocabulary questions. The TOEFL ITP takes 115 minutes to complete while the Pre-TOEFL takes 70 minutes.

AMIDEAST is authorized by the Educational Testing Service to administer TOEFL ITP and Pre-TOEFL tests to individuals or to groups. For all ITP testing at AMIDEAST, rapid scoring and reporting services are provided. Test administrators can expect to receive score results within one week after an ITP administration.

Who uses the ITP and how is it used?

English language training programs; schools, universities, and educational institutions that teach primarily in a language other than English; and organizations and agencies use the ITP to

·  Assess applicant English language ability for study abroad or work assignments

·  Place students in English language classes at the appropriate level of difficulty

·  Demonstrate progress made by students in an English language program

·  Evaluate overall program effectiveness

·  Provide students an opportunity to become acquainted with the multiple-choice test format 

Since the ITP is based on TOEFL tests that have been administered in the past, it may not be used as a basis for admission by institutions where English is the primary language of instruction, or as a substitute for the regular International TOEFL.
