[nabs-l] SAT ACCOMMODATIONS

Fri Apr 8 19:56:55 UTC 2011

:)  Be glad it's not the ACT.  The ACT people were really reasonable
with all their accomodations, except the ones for the optional essay I
decided to do.  They had me dictate it to a tape recorder after I
wrote the answer down on my PAC mate- and long story short I ran out
of time.  But anyways best of luck with the SAT.  Own that test!
