[nabs-l] GRE discrimination?

[Corbb O'Connor]

What ETS may have meant is that you cannot sign up for the self- 
voicing exam on the Internet, but rather need to complete that request  
on the paper form. You will also need to send proof of disability, but  
all of this information should be on the ETS website.

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.
