Educational Testing

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Since 1984, the Fulbright Commission has served as ETS’s representative in Korea for TOEFL, GRE and other high-stakes academic tests.   The Commission has also worked with other major testing organizations including LSAT, SAT, and SSAT, to name a few.  The public provision of up-to-date and accurate information about admissions testing is important to the Fulbright mission of promoting educational and intercultural exchange between the United States and Korea.  Therefore we take it very seriously.  This section of the blog will discuss and invite comments on issues relating to high-stakes educational testing.
