Educational Testing Service (ETS), the designer and implementer of TOEFL world wide, is a public institution or school. Not true. ETS is a profit-making company.
Why is this good to know? Because ETS is more interested in profit than in education. That's OK. Just don't assume ETS is anything more than it is: a corporation with a bottomline.
The Pro predicts the cost to take the TOEFL iBT will go up in 2011 from the current $170.00 in the US to $185.00.
