Why iTEP?

The globally recognized International Test of English Proficiency (iTEP) is now available in Thailand under the authorized distributorship of Rose Marie Academy, a well-recognized educational institution which has been providing English language educational services to the Thai and international communities for over twenty-five years. These tests provide an exciting and practical alternative to other tests currently on the market in that they give fast feedback following testing. They are diagnostic, secure, and less costly.

This range of tests can be used for many purposes. In middle schools and high schools English proficiency can be assessed and analyzed to indicate paths to improvement with further periodic testing. In universities and institutes of tertiary education iTEP tests can be used for admission and assessing language needs; further tests can then be administered before graduation. Employers can use these tests for prospective employees to gauge their English language proficiency and in addition for existing employees to provide information for accurate placement within the company.

The iTEP test results are accepted worldwide by educational institutions and employers and correlate with the European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

iTEP History

iTEP or the International Test of English Proficiency was founded in 2002 by Sharif Ossayran and Perry Akins, two individuals with deep roots in the international education field. Together, they embarked on the creation of an English proficiency test that addressed the needs of the international education community.

Our first test, iTEP Academic was introduced in 2008 and quickly became popular with a wide variety of organizations. It is now accepted by the admissions offices of hundreds of US colleges and universities, as well as many Intensive English Programs throughout the country.

Soon after our product range began to boom with the addition of iTEP SLATE and iTEP Business. The use of innovative technology, mixed with the academic prowess of our staff and supporters, has guaranteed iTEP International remains a world-renowned test of English proficiency.

iTEP Test Security

iTEP utilizes a rotating item bank that generates test questions randomly. This makes it so no two tests will be the same.
Test-takers must provide proctors with a government-issued ID upon entering the testing site. A second identity confirmation check occurs during the registration process.
iTEP Kiosk-Mode Software (installed directly into the testing computer) ensures students have no access to the computer’s desktop or browsers for the duration of the exam.
Reference materials, food, drink, and other personal effects are not permitted in the testing area.
FotoSure™, a proprietary software offered exclusively by iTEP International, monitors test-takers during the testing process by accessing the computer’s camera and routinely photographing the scene.
Live proctors will be present during the entire test duration and will actively monitor all test-takers to ensure there are no security violations. Proctors reserve the right to dismiss anyone from the testing site if they believe there has been a violation of security conditions.
Aside from evaluating iTEP’s speaking and writing sections, our graders help in post-test security monitoring by conducting plagiarism scans, checking testing history, and analyzing speaking samples.

Test Taker Confidentiality Policy

iTEP International is concerned for the privacy of all test takers and clients. This Test taker Privacy and Information Security Policy sets out and defines iTEP International’s approach to the gathering and processing of the personal information of iTEP test takers. Test takers and iTEP clients may provide personal information in many different ways. However, the primary way for a test taker to provide personal information is through the registration period prior to taking an iTEP test. No matter what method is used to collect personal information of test-takers and clients, iTEP International is committed to protecting and properly securing personal information.

Any information that can personally identify a test taker is considered “personal information.” When referring to test takers, iTEP International is referring to all individuals who register and complete any of its tests, including official, sample, promotional, or diagnostic tests. In this regard, test takers are clearly differentiated from other iTEP stakeholders such as employment applicants or third-party contractors for whom other policies and procedures may apply. Proving personal information and registering to take an iTEP test indicates the test taker’s consent and agreement to all terms and conditions of this policy and terms of use.

What This Policy Is

Through a description of the iTEP International Test taker Privacy and Information Security Policy, iTEP International seeks to define how it collects, retains, and discloses personal information. By agreeing to the iTEP International Test taker Privacy and Information Security Policy, you acknowledge that you have entered into an agreement and are subject to the policy. To the extent to which you have entered into any other agreement with iTEP International, this agreement shall supersede those terms.
