TOEFL iBT Scores Cancelled, Visa Interview in 2 Weeks
Thanks a lot for your work rendered to the benefit of the students(esp prospective). Your information helped me a lot in enhancing my skills and securing good scores in GRE and Toefl. I scored 1180(v-450 q-730 awa-3). Acads-79% no backlogs(JNTUH).
For toefl I was unable to get slot in pro-metric center(at that time not much aware of pros and cons of toefl centers) so have done it in a center near to Hyderabad in august last week, on the advice of my consultancy people saying …”
No prob ,as ur r doing it genuinely and also ur profile is good , center doesn’t matter much “. Despite of the disturbances at the center I managed to score 95 (Reading-27, listening-19, speaking-24, writing-25). Later on everything went fine(got admit in all the 4 univs I applied) till I booked my Visa Interview slot.
To my horror, few days back I found my toefl scores as “cancelled” in my account. I had neither any official mail from ETS nor my four Univs about that. Consultancy people have advised me not to ask ETS anything about that. I have postponed my VI to second week of December and five days prior to that have toefl ( this time at prometric).
But really exhausted and worried, I thought I was at the last step but, all this happened.
How can ETS cancel the scores of the students like that . I have written my exam 100 % genuine. I have chosen that center as its near my hometown. In such a case why should have ETS given permission to so many centers like that.( I blame consultancy people also for not giving the true picture and risk of this scenario).
Is all that effort ,time and money in vain?
HSB , pls give me an apt advice on how to face my interview and what would be the status of my admission. I don’t have even the official score report of toefl.
Pls correct me if I have any wrong views of the situation. Is there anyone else facing the same with toefl scores ?
TOEFL Scores Cancelled
One other student had similar experience.
Did you hear anything from Universities? What is your consultancy position on this?
Here’s another experience : Nerve-Racking First Semester in USA
The very next morning my TOEFL scores were cancelled (the center malpractice issues in Hyderabad was the reason behind this) which meant that my graduate student status went into “provisional” and graduate school cannot appoint a GRA who has this on record. I was Angry. I was Angry at people who cheated. Angry at ETS for being so unfair.
As you can see, students have similar experience and they have over came by re-taking the test.
This test is a scam. They get immigrant students to pay all this money, then tell them they can’t take the test and force them to re-register, pay the fee *again*…. some have to do it 3,4,5 times. For Latin American students there is NO space on the website to put both last names, and on this basis they deny people the test on the day of the test. Because the name on the damn computer will not match *exactly* their name on their ID or passport. Convenient for TOEFL, eh? Legal action should be pursued against this company. How many thousands of dollars have they stolen in this fashion? Plus all the materials you are “required” to buy? Plus all your time and stress? Horrible people run this.
hi
I have given TOEFL exam and i have taken a admission in uk highly trusted college in london . after issuing my CAS letter i got email from ets that your toefl score will be invalid because your center has been closed down due to some ilegal activities . And I am the onlyone student who got the result soft copy in my hand and other havenot got because they did not tick at the time of registration that you need a one copy which will be charge $17 so i tick and i got it but before i got email from ets i already submitted my file for student visa so can any one answer me that my visa will be refuse or not? on the basis of that my result
hii just for the information guys this is my personal experience and 3 of my friends experienced the same so i am not sure of the conclusion i am making but my gre 319(1330 1450 in old gre) toefl 105 btech 71% decent lors and sops got rejects from 3 universities purdue umass amherst and psu (it really hammered my confidence ) and oneof my friends got rejects from syracuse with a similar looking profile so what i think is us universities has become a little strict in giving admission these days ..so chose your universities wisely .

File a case after a call to ets? Ask for compensation. U can apply for visa with only gre,,,u can get it ..Also u can explain things to VO…he will consider.
HI,
Your profile ->GRE: 1180(v-450 q-730 awa-3), & TOEFL-95
Can you share which 4 university you have applied? in what field? Thanks
Nothing to worry about that as of my knowledge your gre score is good which proves that you are good at english go head and face the interview if the VI officer asks regarding toefl tell him to check score of your verbal in gre
Hi, hope everything gets sorted out. Perhaps contacting ETS would be the best option. They have phone numbers that you could call and ask.
On an unrelated topic, how does one find out which universities one gave while registering for TOEFL? Also, how good is a score of 157 on Verbal, 162 on Quant, and 4.5 in AWA in GRE? What possible universities would be lying in this band? Thanks!
hey gaythri, u score is very good. go ahead apply to universities.
hi rajesh, i have given gre my score is 299 (V-141, Q-158, AWM-2.5). so is der any chances to get admission in us universities…..?
yeah…go ahead..
thanks a lot, rajesh
If u work hard for TOEFL and manage to score good marks then it helps u alot during the admission as well as in the funding factor … As one of my friend got 112 /120 he got 9,000$ scholarship … Work Hard for TOEFL ….
Hey even i have registered for my TOEFL in hydb
so should i cancel my registration n take some other center ????
NO, if they give any trouble them,….call them and warn them , that i will put a case against them…one of the person got offered free exam after he talked about suing a case…
i got 1260 in my gre i am in need of good sop can any one plz plz help me
Try to give your exam in prometric centres..they r branded ones and involves less risk.. It may cost u a few bucks but this ensures u r in a safer zone.. ALL THE BEST…:)
DONT TAKE TOEFL….TAKE IELTS.
BECAUSE EVEN IF U WRITE TOEFL LATER AFTER U GET ADMISSION URS MAY GET CANCELLED.
IT HAPPENED TO MANY OF MY FRIENDS…CURRENTLY PURSUING MS
TAKE MY WORDS SERIOUSLYY
one of my friend also faced the same problem. He emailed ETS about the problem and they arranged a separate test for him. Do that. If ets does not agre you can threated to sue them on which they will agree. This problem is quite common in TOEFL
Hi HSB,
Some of my friends are from Hybd. They all are on F-1 visa here and some days ago their respective universities told them to retake TOEFL or ILETS exam once again because their exam centers of TOEFL in hybd has been declared as fraud and their old scores get cancelled . And this happened with Hybd. centers only. I think this is the related issue this guy is having. I read this article so thought I should give this information.
Thanks,
Kranti
Yeah this is true..the same happened with some of my seniors over there, even though they were genuine in their exam….
