In this Saturday, Nov. 17, 2012 photograph, a sign is seen on Rosedale Road, in Princeton, N.J., for Educational Testing Services. ETS writes and administers Praxis teacher certification examinations. In one case, 52 teachers were charged with paying up to $1,000 apiece to a former Educational Testing Services proctor to ensure a passing grade on teacher certification tests. ETS spokesman Tom Ewing said the company has discovered cheating in some cases, conducted an investigation and canceled scores. Ewing said ETS observes test-takers and reviews test scores to try to root out cheaters. ETS also has received anonymous tips that have led them to cheaters, Ewing said.
