Pearson will have difficulties penetrating the market. Heck, the TOEFL is having a hard time penetrating the market. In California, many state schools are negative toward any type of testing that tries to dominate the market, especially ETS. Therefore, these state universities have gotten around using the TOEFL. Instead, if an international student passes the highest level in their intensive English program, he/she is given a "TOEFL waiver" and is allowed to enter the school. I agree with the other blogger.

However I doubt how Pearson will manage to penetrate the market. The acceptance from the universities is OK, they are all in search of new tests ease the potential students. But the infrastructure, test centres I mean is very hard to develop. I wish them success. Well, it is very good to have competition in the field.
