Dear Ms. Yang:
We are writing to you because ETS is concerned, based on a preliminary review, that there appears to be substantial envidence that your scores on the March 21, 2007 GRE general Test are invalid. As you ackonwledged when you registered for the test, ETS has the right to review the validity of test scores, and to cancel questionable scores when we believe there is substantial evidence taht they are invalid. The enclosed booklet, Why and How Educational Testing Service Questions Test Scores, provides important information about this process,and we urge you to read it carefully.
Our preliminary concerns are based on the following factor(s). In the quality control process, the ETS writing staff noticed that your essay on a specific topic has unusual similarities with other essays written on the same topic. This was noticeable since the essays for which you receive a score should be your own original and independent work. Further reviews determined that a portion of your essay contains ideas, language and/or examples found in other test taker essays or from published sources. The primary purpose of GRE Analytical Writing is to demonstrate an individual’s own critical thinking and analytical writing skills, based on the way they present their own thoughts. It is impossilbe to evaluate such skills when the essay reflects what may be someone else’s work. The anomalies noted above raise concerns about the validity of your scores.
At your request,we will send you (or,in the case of secure test material, give you an opptunity to examine)the materials that reflect our concerns.
Final decisions about whether there is substantial envidence supporting cancellationof test scores are made by three_memeber panels of ETS's Board of Review.Before the Board of Review considers this matter,you have an opportunity to send us any information that addresses our concerns.Feel free to consult with other people whose judgement you trust. We must receive any information you would like the Board of Review to consider by April 26,2003.Any information we receive by that date ,as well as other information about your scores , will be considered by the Board of Review.
If you do not wish the Board of Review to consider this matter,and would like ETS to cancel your scores and send you a voucher that can be used for registering for a future test,you must tell us by April 26, 2007.
If any single Board of Review member decides that there is not subtantial evidence supporting cancellation of your scores,ETS will clear your scores and report them to the institutions you designate.If,on the other hand,all three members of the Board of Review panel determine that there is substantial evidence supporting cancellation of your scores,you will hanve an opportunity to select one of the options listed be low.These options are described more fully in the enclosed booklet.
1) Tell us to cancel your scores. You will receive a refund of your test fee in the form of a voucher that you can use to register for another scheduled administration.
2)Let the school or agency to which you are sending the scores decide whether or not to use the scores. We will send them our reasons for questioning your scores with your explanation.We will do this only if the school or agency agresss to participate.
In addition to the options listed above,we acknowledged your legal right to seek judicial review of Board of Review decision.
ETS strives to preserve the integrity of the testing process by balancing the need for accurate test scores with the interests of all test takers in being treated fairly. We regret, and will try to minimize, any inconvenience to you. ETS will also treat this as a confidential matter unless you choose to inform others or anthorize us to do so.
Please wirte to me via air mail, or send me a fax(609)406-9709, if you would like to discuss this matter, submit information, or select one of the available options. Any future correspondence regarding this matter, or any documents that you would like to submit to the Board of Review, should be addressed to:
XXXXXXXXXXX

We must recerive you decision by April 26, 2007 or we will submit the matter to the Board of Review and notify you of its decision. |
