Educational Testing Service

ETS veitir einstaklega lélega þjónustu, eins og þeir sem hafa tekið TOEFL eða GRE sennilega þekkja af eigin reynslu.

 Í sumar ætlaði ég að skrá mig í GRE, en lenti í vandræðum með að borga. Svo ég hafði samband og spurði hvort vandamálið gæti tengst íslenskum kreditkortum. Svarið sem ég fékk fylgir hér að neðan. Ég er búinn að feitletra það áhugaverða. Eins og sést í bréfinu er mælt með að maður noti Internet Explorer 3.0 eða nýrri (8.0 er nýjastur, en 3.0 kom út árið 1996). Einnig er minnst á vafra sem er nánast ekki til lengur, Netscape. Svo og tölvuframleiðanda sem er ekki lengur til, Compaq. Einnig stýrikerfi sem nánast enginn notar, Windows 3.1- ekki einu sinni í Afríku að ég held.

 Þetta hefur sennilega verið samið í kringum 1996 eða 1997 og ekki breyst neitt síðan.

 

Thank you for contacting the GRE Program.
