AETR: ETS, ACT Inc and College Board are acting unethically. Help do something about it by signing the AETR Online Petition.

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.

Petitioning the Big Three for Ethics and Responsibility

I am tired of being taken advantage of by ETS, ACT Inc, and College Board.

These corporations are abusing their nonprofit statuses by by gouging students who are required to take their tests, and using their enormous profits to pay for exorbitant compensation packages, massive investment accounts, and extensive political lobbying. All the while, these companies consistently treat American test-takers unfairly by engaging in unethical practices and being unresponsive to legitimate complaints.

As non-profit companies, ETS, ACT Inc, and College Board have accepted the responsibility of putting test-takers' interests first. These companies must take responsibility for their vital roles as America's most important standardized testing companies, and begin to act with a sense of fairness and ethics.

I demand that ETS, ACT Inc, and College Board only operate with:

• Reasonable prices

• Ethical practices

• A steadfast commitment to their promise to serve American students and educators as not-for-profit organizations.

The AETR Online Petition has been signed by 111 Americans supporting Educational Testing Reform (since April, 2009).

Students around the world are asking for reform

Test-takers around the world are impacted by the decisions of American testing companies, particlarly by ETS's TOEFL (The Test of English as a Foreign Language) exam. In response to popular request, AETR has created a second petition for non-U.S. citizens.

The AETR Online Petition (Non-U.S) has been signed by 7 test-takers outside the U.S. who support Educational Testing Reform (since April, 2009).
