[nabs-l] GRE discrimination?

[Melissa Green]

Thanks for that info Arielle.

I am nigotiating with my university about this test.  They want me to take 
it and its at the end of my program.
Its really rediculous.
I am glad to know that there is a practice test and possibly other material 
in braille.
I was told by ETS that I have to take the paper test and that is what I 
needed to register for.

Have a blessed day.
Sincerely,
Melissa R. Green

You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can't possibly live long 
enough to make them all yourself.
