SMALL PRINT:
The testing industry is calculated to be a $400 million to $700 million industry.
In 2001, the New York Times reported that the U.S. Department of Education set aside $400 million to help states develop and administer the tests that the No Child Left Behind Act mandated for children in grades 3 through 8. Among the likely benefactors of the extra funds were the four companies that dominate the testing market .
Do you know that Educational Testing Service (ETS), best known for its administration of the SAT college-entrance exam, won a three-year, $50 million contract in October 2001 to develop and score California’s high-school exit exam?
