The TOEFL ITP_® Assessment Series offers colleges and universities, English-language programs and other organizations the opportunity to administer a convenient, affordable and reliable English-language assessment. The tests measure English proficiency at high beginning to advanced levels.

The tests use academic content to evaluate nonnative speakers’ skills in:

• Listening Comprehension
• Structure and Written Expression
• Reading Comprehension

Some 2,500 institutions in 47 countries administer 600,000 TOEFL ITP_® tests annually, including:

• Colleges and universities
• Secondary schools
• English-language programs
• Governments
• Agencies

The TOEFL ITP_® assessments are composed of three sections. Each section measures a different skill:

• Listening Comprehension measures the ability to understand spoken English as it is used in colleges and universities
• Structure and Written Expression measures recognition of selected structural and grammatical points in standard written English
• Reading Comprehension measures the ability to read and understand academic reading material

TOEFL_® ITP tests are paper-based, multiple-choice tests. Students answer questions by filling out an answer sheet. TOEFL ITP_® tests are administered on two levels:

• Level 1 (intermediate to advanced) consists of three sections: Listening Comprehension, Structure and Written Expression and Reading Comprehension
• Level 2 (high beginning to intermediate) consists of three similar sections, plus vocabulary is added to the Reading section

TOEFL ITP_® measures the test taker’s English ability. There is no pass/fail. Test taker who scores more than 460 points will be issued a score report and a certificate.

TOEFL ITP_® scores are valid for two years. Because language proficiency can change considerably in a relatively short period of time, scores more than two years old cannot be reported or verified. If a test taker took the TOEFL ITP_® test more than two years ago and needs to submit scores to an agency or institution, he or she must take the test again to have scores reported.
