Formed in 1947, the Educational Testing Service (ETS) is a private educational testing and measurement organization. It builds assessments based on research and a focus on quality. ETS annually develops, administers, and scores over 50 million tests in more than 180 countries. ETS also maintains ETS AI Labs.
