[nabs-l] question about clep testing

[Jennifer Aberdeen]

Hi Maryann,

I'm not sure if it is this way at all Community colleges or Universities for 
that matter, but my experience with the CLEP exam was very negative.

I attempted to take the English CLEP exam, and I will say it was "Hell." 
Someone from the Disabilites office had to read everything to me because the 
computer did not have any type of screen reader on it. Braille was not 
offered to me because as the lady from the disabilities office told me, "We 
don't usually do that."

It probably took longer than it should have, and I failed anyway. I only got 
thrity two out of eighty nine questions right.

I sincerely hope others haven't had the same experience as I did. I hope 
other institutions are more accessible to blind students.

Jennifer
