Scattered reports over the past couple of weeks of problems when attempting to create a profile on the official TOEFL site. Affected users say that they get stuck on the page with “Search Service” at the top. Whatever the user selects, they just get sent back to the same page. That renders them unable to progress in the registration process.
It seems to affect only users who already have a GRE account. This has been a problem area (in my estimation) for ETS’s registration system going back many years… but this particular manifestation of the problem is new.
I mention it here because students have expressed some feelings of urgency regarding a fix, and some ETSers follow me on this platform. If something was adjusted “under the hood” maybe take a moment to ensure that it was adjusted properly. Feel free to shoot me a message if you want a bit more information.
If you are experiencing this as a user, leave a comment below. I’ll try to find out more.
