iTEP is a 90-minute internet-based test of English language skills.  The exam consists of five sections: grammar, listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Each section includes questions targeting a variety of levels of English proficiency.  Score reports show test-taker’s overall level, as well as scores attained on each section.
