Tests Offered at Gallaudet University

TOEFL ITP

The TOEFL ITP Level 1 test is a paper-based English proficiency test that can be taken mainly for graduate admissions. This test may also be taken for undergraduate purposes. The Listening subtest is waived only for deaf and hard of hearing registrants. The TOEFL only offers extended times to accommodate deaf and hard of hearing registrants. If the registrant is hearing, the regular test times will be applicable. Proctors use ASL to communicate instructions. Please send an email to gtc@gallaudet.edu if you have questions about the TOEFL ITP test.

DRP

Students take the Degrees of Reading Power (DRP) test to determine if they meet the Gallaudet University expectations for English. This cloze test is required for undergraduate placement into English classes, including non-credit classes if a passing score is not achieved.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the DRP test may also be substituted for the American College Testing (ACT) exam, the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), and the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for both Undergraduate and Graduate admissions requirements as needed.
