[nabs-l] SAT ACCOMMODATIONS

[humberto]

Well, if you are going to use the BrailleNote for taking the SAT 
tests, and if it is OK to do so because you have been approved to 
do that, you can do the following:
1.  There is an option called the "visual display" on your 
BrailleNote.  Go to the options menu, and then press the letter V 
to jump straight to Visual display.  It will ask you whether you 
want a serial connection or a bluetooth connection.  If you are 
interested in learning more about this option, you can refer to 
the user guide (It is installed on your KeySoft by default), and 
read about the sections for visual display.
2.  Depending on which version of KeySoft you have, you might 
want to download an application and install it on your computer.  
for more information, you can visit:
http://humanware.com/support/
search for a BrailleNote link and start investigating the other 
links and settings.  If you know what HyperTerminal is, there is 
a file that you can download that has the correct settings for 
the BrailleNote to run as a visual display.  Just look around 
that web site and find out what's available.
3.  There is a BrailleNote mailing list for BrailleNote users 
specifically.  If you would like to subscribe to this mailing 
list, send a blank email to: 
Braillenote-request at list.humanware.com.  type "Subscribe" in the 
subject line, as always.
4.  A last word of warning, (and yes real warning!) unless you 
have been really approved to have such accommodation of 
connecting a braille device onto a monitor, please be aware that 
if you are in the same testing setting as other students, they 
might be tickled pink to see your work.  And yes, they may cheat.  
You might want to see what your testing setting will look like 
before even jumping in to researching options 1, 2, and 3 above.  
Good luck with your test and may all be well for you.

Cheers, Humberto
