ITP-TOEFL

What can you expect?

ITP-TOEFL stands for Institutional Testing Programme, a test of English as a foreign language. The results of this test are only valid within Erasmus University Rotterdam. You can use your test result to show that your language level is sufficient to be accepted into a degree programme that is taught in English, or to go on an exchange programme. Please enquire at your faculty which test is required! For some faculties and thus for universities (abroad) you are requested to take an official TOEFL-test.

The ITP-TOEFL is a multiple choice test consisting of the following parts:

• Listening comprehension
• Grammar and writing skills
• Reading comprehension

The ITP-TOEFL consists of 140 multiple choice questions that test your reading, writing and listening skills. The test, including explanation, takes two and a half hours. Each exam component is assessed separately and the results of all components together form the final score. The total score of the test is between 311 and 677 points. You will receive the result no more than three weeks after the test date.

For the test, refer to the Test Taker Handbook. It describes in detail what you can expect from the test, and you will find a number of sample questions and texts for each section. The ITP-TOEFL that we take is 'level 1'. We recommend that you study the sample questions in this document.

Start dates

Please note that the ITP-TOEFL is a different test than the official TOEFL test (TOEFL iBT) and that it will not be accepted for all academic purposes.  The official TOEFL test (iBT) can only be reserved via the ETS Global website. A TOEFL test can’t be used as an entry test for our language courses.
