I’ve heard many reports of TOEFL scores being cancelled over the last couple of months because the test-taker “may have received assistance” during the test administration. The message to test-takers goes something like this:
“We have no reportable score for you from the May 26, 2023 TOEFL iBT Home Edition Administration because you may have received assistance during the test administration.”
and also:
“Please be advised that this type of behavior will not be tolerated and that repeated violations may result in score cancellation and/or your exclusion from future testing”
As best I can understand it, there is no appeal process, no refund and no evidence provided to the test-taker.
It seems like a switch has been flipped in Lawrence Township as the volume of reports I have seen has greatly increased in recent weeks. Weird.
I always encourage test-takers to stand up for their rights but also to be proactive regarding important deadlines.
