Transcript and highlights of the webinar:Plain and simple: Goal is for students to continue their educational journey with a reliable testing methodology....
Need for it is right now…
Convenient, flexible and safe options for testing…
This may be able to minimize the disruptions…
Same research based reliable general test… delivered in a diff way
Remains the Gold standard for English language proficiency…
All features will exist..
We are aware of the urgent need…
NOT ABLE TO DELIVER PAPER score to the school, only those schools signed up for the electronic delivery method will receive it. So urge everyone to sign up for the ETS data manager. SIGN UP …
STNRP… CODE means remote proctor… (So I guess the schools will be able to differentiate whether the test was taken at home or not)…
ONLY on a WINDOWS OS as of now 10, 8 or 7…
ETS recognizes that privacy is a challenge when everyone is at home but is a requirement…
Best in class security measures…
We hold back from sharing some security measures that we don’t want to disclose so that students could override them… But AI is capable of detecting any malicious activity…
Background software not allowed..
Proctor can stop the test midway…
We know that this will not continue and will return to normal conditions so that we can return to normal…
Waiving the reschedule fees… even if the centers are open and student feels uncomfortable even then they can reschedule at no fee…
Fairness is baked into everything we do at the ETS… statistically analyse to remove qs that might seem disadvantageous to some groups…
More countries to follow for the home edition…
Looking to improve in critically markets like India and China…
Students will be able to see their scores in 10-15 days online…
Capacity for testing: No: of students ready to test immediately will be less than it is normally…
Will the at home service be available in the future? We developed the solution to meet the immediate need and that our reason for offering it... (Umm kinda avoided the topic if you ask me with a diplomatic answer)...

Coronavirus Update: Increased Availability and Accessibility of TOEFL and GRE At Home TestsETS is pleased to share several important updates regarding at home testing for the TOEFL iBT® test and GRE® General Test.
Increasing Momentum — Since introducing the TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition and the GRE General Test at home in late March, more than 18,000 test takers have registered to take either test from the safety of their homes in 116 countries and territories through the end of June. More than 2,000 have already tested successfully. We currently have sufficient capacity to meet test takers' needs but continue to recommend that prospective students register as soon as possible for the best chance to test at their preferred date and time.
Increasing Availability — The at home tests can now also be taken on a Mac® computer if Windows® is installed and the test taker is using a Google Chrome™ or Firefox® browser. More details can be found under the "Equipment and Environment Checklist" on the test taker web pages accessed using the links below.
Increasing Accessibility — ETS is committed to serving test takers with disabilities and health-related needs by providing services and reasonable accommodations that are appropriate given the purpose of the test. These accommodations can be requested in the test taker's ETS account:
