Even far better-recognized schools than ENEB have gotten less than favorable evaluation results.My Bachelor's degree from Sweden evaluates as equivalent to a regionally accredited American Bachelor's by WES USA (WES did lower my GPA though). I was the first one to get a WES evaluation from my school. My Associate's however wasn't evaluated as equivalent and I can only assume it's because it doesn't contain any General Education Credits.
I don't think anyone is violently against testing out on a board like this. The problem isn't with being able to test out, the problem is that ENEB allows you to test out with just 50 questions, and that's what puts them in mill territory now.
I think if ENEB or Harvard are the two extremes a person is looking for in order to get a job, I would say they've overlooked a lot of critical components regarding what that takes.
They magically evaluated my (research) Associate's and Bachelor's without contacting my Swedish school, getting any copies of syllabuses or my thesis paper, etc. It's all evaluated on bias or assumptions. They also don't seem to know Nordic education is much tougher than American. I've seen reports of WES misunderstanding NLP as computer science instead of psychology, which is proof they never even Googled the school syllabus.
In Asia they sometimes reject my Bachelor's degree because it was taught in two languages and they only want to accept degrees 100% taught in English. Yet they accept ENEB. I feel there is a lot going on with the FCEs.
I've read over 300 forum pages, Reddit discussions etc on ENEB. Yes there are people very opposed to the exam format existing at all. Maybe not on this particular forum. It all blurs together after a while.
