      They really need to have a zero-star option here. Scheduled the at-home test, I checked in, there were issues on their side, they took 25 minutes to even work on it after I contacted them and spent another 20 30 working on it. Was told to wait for my ******* at that point. I waited 40 minutes then called and ******** said ETS canceled my reservation. Called ETS and they said they would review the ProctorU report and then they wanted me to call back in 3 to 4 days. I took work off today and as an intern I don't have sick days so I just don't get paid. After saying goodbye he kept saying that I needed to be the one to end the call. I muted it and just let him keep trying to get me off the phone. When he finally hung up there was a survey available. Keep on that line and tell them what you think of them. Don't let them convince you to hang up.

      Disappointed! These people are a set up. They want to charge you everything. They make these tasks for only white people to pass.

      Awful. Its just a way to make teachers pay fees in order to keep their license. I was scheduled to take an exam at home, took the practice test, tried to log into the real test and it said my computer didnt support their system. I was on the phone with them for hours just getting passed from one agent to another. Never got it resolved so I am just out $120 and have to reschedule in 28 days. Huge scam.

      These people are an absolute joke. The costumer service are the most rude and unknowledgeable I have ever spoken to. This is what happens when you outsource jobs to save a dime. The people over the phone are rude not helpful they have zero idea on what they are talking about. I wish I could leave a zero star. Why would I pay for something that provides not help or support when problems arise. Why would I every utilize this system again? Schools need to get rid of this it is an absolute shame.

      ETS is the most ineffective, inefficient, indifferent institution! My online test didnt work and they blamed me before I got mad at them. Then they told me to take onsite test and it got canceled after I received an email from confirming my registration!! I am heartbroken after I called and emailed them multiple times and still got no solution after 6 business days!!!!

      My name is *****. I took the toefl test on February 5. They cancelle my scores for no reason. I didn't received any email. I didnt cheat, no warming during the test. I'm really confused about it. It's really a joke. I think ETS just think Chinese students are rich and stupid. They just want money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      ETS is a joke. They just want to scam you out of your money. They are not interested in helping you at all! They make it almost impossible to speak to anyone who can or is willing to help you. You just get the run around. They punish you for not knowing the correct IT information before the test. I should not have to pay for their lack of information.
