¿TOEFL iBT, TOEFL PBT, TOEFL ITP? ¿Cuál necesito?

We've actually blogged about the different TOEFL formats before, but it's been a long time and it's probably time for a review.  This time, in Spanish.  This was taken from the TOEFL iBT Outreach Office in Mexico's blog (continuing link below), a good blog for all things TOEFL!

De los exámenes mencionados en el título de esta entrada, el que dejó de aplicarse en agosto de 2012 es el TOEFL PBT. PBT quiere decir Paper-Based Test, pues era de papel y se utilizaba un lápiz para anotar las respuestas en la hoja de respuestas. Este examen era también internacional, como el TOEFL iBT (Internet-Based Test) que se presenta en línea en una computadora en un centro de aplicación.

¡No confundir TOEFL PBT con TOEFL ITP! Aunque el examen institucional TOEFL ITP (Institutional Testing Program-un examen oficial) también es de papel y se utiliza un lápiz para anotar las respuestas en la hoja de respuestas, no se le debe llamar "Paper-Based". Algunas maneras de referirse a este examen son: "el examen institucional", "el ITP", "el TOEFL ITP". Una de las fuentes principales de esta confusión es que tienen el mismo puntaje (310 a 677) y puede ser que algunas instituciones nacionales e internacionales todavía no actualicen su información. Como puede ser el caso, es posible que te pidan un puntaje en base a 677 pero se estén refiriendo al TOEFL iBT (puntaje de 0 a 120). Hay qué verificar en la página de la universidad en la cual deseas solicitar admisión ya que la elección de examen dependerá de tu propósito en concreto.

Algunas diferencias principales entre el TOEFL ITP y el TOEFL iBT son las siguientes:
