[Blindmath] Preparing for the SAT?

What I would do is invest in a tutoring service. It would be an actual human who would tutor you over Skype or phone, and these services know if they are doing because they have people who take the test and memorize questions so they compile their own up-to-date information. The questions on the SAT follow a sort of template if that makes sense, and if you know how to follow the template, you don't actually have to be good at the things they're testing you on. The tutor could either read you questions or send you electronic questions that they have. I know they would work with you because I got in touch with a tutoring service in high school and they said they would work with me as a blind student, but then at the last minute my mom decided not to pay for it. If you go to community college, you don't have to take the test, but you are right that you need it if you are applying to a four-year university. You can either take the SAT or the a CT, and you could discuss with the tutoring service which one would be the best for you. After you take the test, you need to look up ballpark figures for the upper and lower scores that your school of choice except as well as the average score because if you fall outside of those figures, many schools will just throw away your application without even looking at it.
