IPT II-Oral Test: Components and Areas Assessed

The IPT II-Oral English Test, Forms C & D, was first published in 1998. It was developed expressly to assess the oral language skills of students in grades 7-12. It provides diagnostic information for placing students in appropriate instructional programs.

Components

All the components of the IPT II-Oral English Test are fully copyrighted. NO PART OF THIS TEST MAY BE REPRODUCED. The IPT II-Oral English Test consists of the following components:

Test Booklet (Form C or Form D).
Please note that we offer two different test forms so that you can monitor students’ progress and ensure reliability of scores between testing. Form C can be used as the pre-test and Form D can be used as the post-test. The administration and scoring of the two test forms is exactly the same.

Test Pictures (Form C or Form D).
The Test Pictures include a stand-up easel with the stimulus visuals needed to administer some of the test questions.

Examiner’s Manual (Forms C & D).
Contains directions on how to administer the test and interpret the results

Technical Manual (Forms C & D).
Includes validity and reliability data.

Diagnostic Answer Sheet or Scannable Answer Sheet (Forms C & D, as applicable).
These are optional scoring components. They will be discussed later in the training.
