[blindLaw] Alternative accommodation for having standardized test exam answer sheets marked by a scribe

[Lauren Bishop]

Hello All,
I was wondering if there is any precedent for in accommodation other than having a scribe markup Blind Students answer sheet on standardized tests such as the bar exam. I have thought about this a lot, and another poster on this list inspired me to ask this question. Sided students who have their answer sheets marked by a scribe can independently verify that the bubble is shaded incorrectly; Whereas, blind people only have the credible verbal assurance that our answer sheet is marked correctly. We can’t tell if the bubble has been marked dark enough or if there are too many strain marks for the Scantron machine to pick them up. Is there a president for requesting an accommodation where , there is no Scantron answers sheet, such as marking answers in Microsoft Word or some other program?   I would appreciate any input on this topic. If there isn’t, it would be great if there was a way to change that.  I find it grossly unfair that a blind test taker is left, wondering whether their answer sheet was marked correctly.  Just a thought as I nervously await my bar results.
