Oxanabye2 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hi everybody! I just got my rescoring result. It hasn't been changed. The procedure took over 4 weeks, and I had to talk to 4 representatives before I had received my result. The official letter has been lost and I had to request a new one. I am very unhappy with this test at all. I completely agree with the fact that a pharmacist has to speak a perfect English, but this IBT test doesn't reflect my ability to handle a situation with a patient in a pharmacy, in my opinion. It is a very subjective and an exhausting test, especially when you have passed three sections of the test three times in a row, and you have to take it again as a whole, entire thing. We don't have any influence on the rescoring procedure and I don't believe in it. We can't take our speaking records and go to the independent institution to get it rescored which is not right. To pass a writing part is not easy, why I have to do it again? Last September I filled the application for the Class Lawsuit on this matter. Is there anybody who knows anything about it? I read everyone's comments and bulletins talking about this IBT trials: 3 times the score is 23, then 2 times 22,then... People, we have to do something about that. Lets get together like 5 people and hire the lawer to help us to cut this circle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lily264 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Here is my terrible experience with the toefl rescoring too.I have taken the Toefl ibt exam 2 times in 2 consecutive months.The first time I got R28,L22,S22,W27.I requested rescoring for speaking and I got 23 although I didn't do well in the speaking after 1 month I took the exam a second time and I was very surprised to get R27,L26,S26,W22.I WAS SHOCKED FROM MY WRITING SCORE BECAUSE I DID VERY FINE THE SAME AS THE FIRST TIME.I WAS VERY HAPPY TO GET THE DREAMING SCORE 26 IN SPEAKING BUT IT'S USELESS.I was sure that my score in writing was unfair for me ,so I REQUESTED RESCORING IN WRITING,AND I DISCOVERED HOW THE ETS ARE SO RECKLESS AND UN RESPONSIBLE .I have waited for the score to change on my home page it didn't for 6 weeks.I called the customer service for 6 times they are not helpful at all ,everytime they told me the same sentence " still investigating your writing score" I waited for a change .At last I recieved a letter from the ETS saying that your rescoring IN THE SPEAKING SECTION HAS BEEN PROCESSED AND THE ORIGINAL SCORE IS CORRECT.I WAS SHOCKED after waiting all that time consuming time and money for stupid telephone calls I recieve that letter ,I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AGIAN THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING .So I LOST HOPE and tried to register for another exam and i didn't find test places till May in my country.I have to wait and study again .They have ruined my career and make me lose my job because of their recklessness,they waste our time and money and make us suffer and live in stress,I am sooo depressssseeeeeeeeeeeed.Can anybody tell me what to do to get my rescoring result for the writing ,I am sure I DESERVE BETTER SCORE.

Hello2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I can agree, lily264. I have also called ETS couple times. They are so ****ing unfriendly. This whole thing is just a big money machine thats keeps spinning!! I guess they even don't want you to receive the appropriate score cause they want you to retake it!! Otherwise, come on, if you see somebody has 98/99 points you would definitely give him 1-2 points more. But **** ETS and their customer "service"! I am excited for my rescoring, if they'll decrease my score I'm like goin nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine977 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hi guys, I took TOEFL twice because I required 26 in speaking. On the second time, I was not satisfied with my score which was 24 in speaking. I found out about rescoring throught this blog. I sent application form on 1st of August. On 22nd my score changed from 24 to 28 in ets website. Applying for rescoring does really worth if you are doubtful. All the best to all the TOEFL test takers!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tino Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Do you have specific templates for each speaking question, have you memorized them, and do you follow them strictly when answering? Tino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyrojohn Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hi guys! I think ets is a very good non-profitable legitimate company which does not want to ruin lives. In my case, I did a rescore in speaking because I remembered I was very good at it at the time of the exam. The result was that not only I got what I deserved(5 grades more than I had in the begining) but also a refund for the rescore. I appreciated also the help and guidance of ets team during the rescore process who answered a lot of questions with toefl. Ets is simply the best!

i.k.u Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 spyrojohn.... If it is " a good company" why doesn't it give us what we deserve from the first time.. Why should we ask for rescore to get what we deserve? Those 5 grades should not have been taken from you from the first place... How many people got less than they deserve by mistake and didn't ask for rescore because they don't know.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Rescore doesn't give you anything. Just so everyone understands. When you apply for a rescore, ETS submits your speakings (or writings) into its database again. The raters who score it have no idea it is a rescore, they don't know your previous scores, or anything. Sometimes it goes up, sometimes stays the same, sometimes goes down. In my experience, generally, the chance to go up, down or stay the same is equal. If the score changes ETS will refund the $60 fee. If it stays the same, they don't Tino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tino Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 mohwagih: Did you take our course? just watching a few videos is not enough to crack the TOEFL. Our live online classes will get you there though! Tino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
