Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what methods ETS has used to identify cheating in Test of English for International Communication tests; and what opportunities are available to people who want to challenge (a) allegations and (b) findings of cheating in those tests.

Our understanding of the methods used by ETS to identify invalid tests has been set out in writing to the Home Affairs Select Committee. These responses are publicly available. The Courts have consistently found the core evidence we have is sufficient to establish a presumption of fraud. It is then up to individuals to challenge this through statutory appeals where applicable or Judicial Review.
