The TOEFL ITP is one of the existing versions of the TOEFL. It is a test that reliably assesses the English language skills of students whose native language is not English. It is a multiple-choice paper-based test administered at a higher education institution and is based solely on academic content. It is used in the case of an academic exchange abroad.
Please note:
Unlike the TOEFL iBT, the TOEFL ITP is intended for educational institutions only; that is, you cannot take it as an independent candidate. It is only used for managing academic exchanges, when partner institutions have decided to accept it.
The TOEFL ITP only assesses listening and reading comprehension, while the TOEFL iBT also assesses speaking and writing. Finally, the TOEFL ITP is shorter and considered easier than the TOEFL iBT.
