Oh by the way I didn't mention  this in my original message; I am running
JAWS version 12.0 on a Windows XP machine and Internet Explorer version 8.0.

I haven't come across Jaws not reading answers to multiple choice exams
before.  You could try using the Jaws cursor and see.  Let us know what
happens.  I'd be interested to know myself.

Hello Nabs,
 
I was trying to use the SAT web site from the College Board:
http://sat.collegeboard.com/ 
 
I have a collegeboard account, so today I opened it and started taking an
SAT practice test with multiple choice questions and everything as I need to
prepare for a test that I will take tomorrow at my local community college
in Braille.
 
On the practice test, I got to the part where I had to answer the multiple
choice questions. Well, turns out that the radio buttons for the "A, B, C,
D, ETC." answers are accessible with JAWS. Also JAWS was able to read the
question clearly, including math equations and numbers. the practice test
page was also accessible itself--quite accessible and did not have to route
the JAWS cursor at all.
However, the only problem I see is that once I get to the question I want to
answer, JAWS does read the question and the 5 radio buttons that are
present. but he only reports the radio buttons to me along with the A, B, or
C information, and he does not report the answer itself. It's like.. for
example I read the question and then come across the radio buttons. JAWS
would only say:
Radio button not check (A) 1 of 5, Radio button not checked (B) 2 of 5,
Radio button not checked (e) 5 of 5, ETC. but I don't hear the answer from
those possible answers. 
What would this be? Could it be that the answer choices are in an * Image *
that JAWS of course can not see? or why am I not seeing any choice answers
on the page?
what should I do about this? Will I have to route the JAWS cursor (for those
you JAWS users that know this) or what?
any comments appreciated.
 
cheers, Humberto
