This site describes the efforts of American students and other test-takers to encourage major educational testing companies to act with greater integrity and fairness. Most of these companies are considered non-profit organizations and have been granted special tax-exempt status by the IRS. They can - and should - be held to a higher standard of corporate responsibility. Founded on principles of corporate ethics and responsibility, AETR is dedicated to making sure every American test-taker is treated fairly by their testing company. Lend your support by taking a few seconds to sign our online petition.
