[nabs-l] ACT SAT testing logistics

[vejas]

  Hi All,
I took the PLAN (Pre-SAT) yesterday & am taking the PSAT on 
Wednesday.  I'm
the first braille-using student in our district to take these 
tests.
I would like to know about your experiences taking the ACT and 
SAT and
their pretests.
1.  First, I wanted to know if you had any trouble with graphics 
or
diagrams.  When I took the pre ACT yesterday, I had a bar graph 
in which
the bars were all very short and exactly the same size, and I had 
another
graph which was not clearly labelled.
2.  Next, I'd like to know who proctored your test.  Did you have 
a VI
teacher or a member of the school staff do it?
3.  How involved was your VI teacher in getting materials for 
you? For the
PLAN I only got a print copy of pretest materials.
4.  How much clarification could the proctor give? I had been 
specifically
told that I can't ask the proctor for any clarifications, but it 
seemed
like for some of the graphics, not all the information was there 
or
presented properly in the braille version.
Thank you so much.
