The TOEFL ITP Tests at a Glance

A Reliable Assessment of English

The TOEFL ITP® tests are paper-based and use academic and social content to evaluate the English-language proficiency of nonnative English speakers, giving you confidence about your students' ability in a real-world academic setting. All questions are multiple choice and students answer questions by filling in an answer sheet. The tests evaluate skills in three areas:

• 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 in English.
