  • Western Carolinian January 19, 1994 News 'ETS' Continued from Front Kaplan President and Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Grayer explained that Kaplan has no intention of sharing test content with GRE-takers. Kaplan's copy of the test was given to ETS, and the only duplicate lies in a vault in the offices of Price Waterhouse. "Security is of utmost importance to students and educators," said Grayer. "Our goal was to learn about the computer GRE and ensure its fairness." Grayer first spoke with ETS Nancy Cole on Friday, December 9, when he communicated Kaplan's findings and articulated his concerns. "We have worked closely with ETS over the past week to outline the dimensions of the problem," said Grayer. "We are encouraged that they are giving serious attention to this grave issue." Grayer added that the short-term solutions implemented by ETS will have to be evaluated. "It will be incumbent upon ETS to demonstrate that they have solved the problem. We are concerned that new technology, such as e-mail and electronic bulletin boards, make it easy to share information broadly," Grayer said. Kaplan is the nation's leading test preparation company and one of the largest educational companies in the country, offering courses, books, videos, on-line services, and digital products. Kaplan is a wholly-owned subsidary of The Washington Post Company, which owns Newsweek magazine.
