Testing agency cracks down on cheating

Educational Testing Service has been taking action to prevent cheating on its tests, according to David Payne, vice-president and chief operating officer of the higher education division at ETS.

ETS is a nonprofit organization based in the United States that administers international tests including GRE, TOEFL and TOEIC.

Cheating on ETS exams has been reported in many countries in recent years, with a widely known TOEIC fraud case in Britain that was disclosed by the BBC last year.
