Thank you for the link. However, there is no message that says, "NABP must allow only TOEFL iBT or Speaking = 26."

Nurses are allowed other tests such as IELTS and TOEIC. There is no message that says that the monopoly should be implemented to measure English proficiency.

The problem is the monopoly and ETS does not give a fair testing environment and scoring. How can ETS explain when scores of 24 from the same candidate can be changed to 28 or 19?
