[humanser] Civil Service exam

[Serena Cucco]

Hi Anjelina,

Jaws wouldbe great for me, too!  Since my exam is scheduled for Jan. 9
and it's almost the holidays, arranging the test with Jaws may or may
not work out.  Just wondering, did your state CSC give a reason why
they couldn't provide Braille?  Just so I know what I might be in for.
 Also, what percentage of the test did you use Jaws for and what
percentage did you have the reader read?  How come?

Thanks,
Serena
