[blindlaw] Question about Software called Exam 4

[Nightingale, Noel]

If the alternate form of taking the test provided by the school is not as effective for you as a screen reader user as it is for those taking the test through the school's software, you could file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights at www.ed.gov/ocr.

What school do you attend?  That's interesting. I'll email my coordinator and find out who is in charge of making that decision.
