Why choose iTEP-Academic?

• Short test time and fast processing period

iTEP Academic-PLUS lasts 90 minutes, and iTEP Academic-Core only takes 60 minutes. Compared with approximately 165 minutes for IELTS and 180 minutes for TOEFL, iTEP offers students a better choice for getting the same reliable test result as TOEFL and IELTS.

In addition to the test time, iTEP also saves students plenty of time waiting for the test result. Results of TOEFL are delivered within two to three weeks and IELTS within 13 business days. The test results of iTEP Academic are available within 24 hours after the test. Undoubtedly, for students who are in a hurry to apply for schools or are racing for an upcoming deadline, iTEP is the optimal choice.

• On-demand scheduling and practical access

For both IELTS and TOEFL tests, students must schedule the test dates in advance. It is hard to foresee if there will be time conflict on the test date when students have to register way ahead. Unlike others, iTEP tests are available to students on a demand basis. Students who need to take an English proficiency test can simply go to iTEP’s official website and choose the type of test they need and then order online. The practice test and official test IDs will be issued to students within 48-hours. When to take the official test is up to students, and they can choose an appropriate time suited to their schedule and convenience.

• Comprehensive test design

Compared with IELTS, which tests students’ reading, listening, writing, and speaking skills, iTEP Academic-Plus assesses the four core skills mentioned above plus grammar, providing students with a more comprehensive score report.
