<br><tt><font size=2>Hi Eric,<br>
<br>
We did the practice materials that the school <br>
provided orally--not great, but better than <br>
nothing. I really wanted Serena to have some <br>
experience with the format of the test, though.<br>
<br>
The last time I contacted the College Board about <br>
this, they said old PSAT tests are available in <br>
Braille for practice purposes, so if there's <br>
still time, maybe you can get ahold of one of those.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
Carol<br>
