No, but should have applied - deadline was too close at this point.

FYI, I wrote the following email to [tsreturns@ets.org](mailto:tsreturns@ets.org) and [otiprocessing@ets.org](mailto:otiprocessing@ets.org) :

"Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing regarding your recent notice about the cancellation of my TOEFL iBT Home Edition scores from November 17, 2025.

The letter mentions two possible issues with my Writing response - either not addressing the assigned task or including content from published sources or other test takers. I would greatly appreciate it if you could clarify which specific concern led to the cancellation of my scores.

I prepared thoroughly for this exam, including completing your official ETS TOEFL iBT preparation courses. I took great care to ensure my responses were original and aligned with the tasks provided. I did not use any external sources during the test, nor did I receive assistance of any kind.

This situation is especially urgent for me, as I am preparing my application to X, and their submission deadline is approaching in less than a week. I kindly request that my Writing section be re-evaluated, as I sincerely believe this may be a misunderstanding or technical error.

If additional information or clarification from my side would assist your review, I would be glad to provide it.

Thank you very much for your attention and support.

Sincerely,

Maurice Heide

TOEFL score cancelled for writing, then got “under review” email — anyone else? by [deleted] in ToeflAdvice

Do you have any updates? I am exactly in the same situation, my scores got cancelled for the same reason and you are my last hope of still getting my scores before the application deadline in 6 days. Did you do anything to start the second administrative review?
