Oh yeah, the ETS is one big evil force. They are completely ridiculous. And yes, Apri put it well, it's a much better measure of class and status than anything else. Oh, and national origin, since no other country I know of tests students in this way so you're adding a significant handicap to foreigners' changes of doing even remotely well.
So yes, it's a BIG money-making machine, completely disgusting and should be taken less and less seriously as far as I'm concerned.
