[blindlaw] Testing accommodations

[john]

I was able to use my laptop without examsoft because at the time examsoft
was incompatible with JFW and they did not want to get involved with trying
to get around that argument. I also had the dean of my law school send a
letter saying that I was never required to use examsoft.
As for the multiple choice, I definitely had to use the reader and scribe
method. I have never heard of anyone receiving electronic versions of the
multiple choice either.
Take care,
John

Hi John:

How did you handle the multiple choice questions? Did you get the test in 
braille, electronic format, or use a reader?

It would be nice if blind people could just type our multiple choic 
answers instead of using a scribe. But to my knowledge, that's never been 
done before.

My main concern is being allowed to use my Pac Mate. If I call it a 
"Braille laptop (since they understand what a laptop does), I run the risk 
of them asking me to use ExamSoft. If I tell them I need to use a Braille 
notetaker, I run the risk of them denying me because they won't know 
what a notetaker is.
