[blindLaw] GRE exam

[Marina Rake]

Hi John,

I took the GRE in 2022 with testing accommodations in the testing center. It went well using JAWS and extended time. However, I am now studying to take the LSAT as well as it seems that that score will be more competitive for the law schools I am applying to this year. 

Best of luck on any exams you choose to take!

Sincerely,
Marina

I had the opportunity to play around with their interface at an NFB convention several years ago. I found it to work really well. I guess you could just look at the different things that each test test, and do the one that is most suitable for you.
