<\/span>What’s on an ILTS Exam?<\/h2>\n
The majority of the ILTS exams contain multiple-choice questions, and there are generally about 100 questions per exam. Some the exams also include written questions with short essay-style answers, and other exams have spoken-response questions.<\/p>\n
Each exam has a set time limit, generally 3 hours and 15 minutes.<\/p>\n
<\/span>ILTS Exam Registration<\/h2>\n
To register for an exam, you must first create an ILTS\/ISBE account. Once your account has been created, you will need to log in and select the specific exam you wish to register for. From there, you can register for the exam, pay the testing fee, and schedule your testing appointment.<\/p>\n
The testing fee for an ILTS exam is usually between $115 and $122.<\/p>\n
<\/span>How an ILTS Exam is Scored<\/h2>\n
ILTS exams are scored using a scaled scoring system. This system takes your raw score, which is the total of how many questions you answered correctly, and converts it into a numerical score on a scale from 100 to 300. You will need a minimum score of 240 to pass the exam.<\/p>\n
This scoring system is used because there are different versions of the exam given to each group of test-takers. Since different testers are given different questions, raw scores do not always represent fair comparisons between the different exams. Scaled scoring allows the variability in difficulty to be considered so candidates have an equal opportunity no matter what version of the exam they are given.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Retaking an ILTS Exam<\/h2>\n
If you do not pass your exam on your first attempt, you may retake the exam after completing the full registration process. There is a mandatory waiting period between attempts, which will differ depending on the exam.<\/p>\n
