iTEP Academic-Core case studies

The iTEP Academic-Core is presented here as a four-skill English proficiency exam covering Listening, Reading, Grammar, and Writing, with each section weighted at 25 percent of the total score. That balanced structure makes it relevant to candidates who need evidence of academic English ability for admission, placement, or program exit requirements rather than for professional licensure. The profile lists no confirmed question count, duration, passing score, fee, retake policy, or score validity period, so treat any specific numbers you encounter elsewhere with caution until verified against an official test-owner page. Preparation should follow the equal weighting: build listening stamina with short academic lectures and note-taking drills, practise reading for main idea and inference across unfamiliar topics, review grammar at the sentence level with attention to tense, agreement, and clause structure, and write timed responses with clear topic sentences and supporting detail. The iTEP Academic-Core case studies are 5 cases and about 1,163 words.
