[nabs-l] College entrance exam

[Sami Osborne]

Hi all,

So I'm currently a senior in high school, and believe I'll be 
taking the college entrance exam for the schools I would like to 
go to (I only believe this because I still don't know my SAT 
score, even though I took it back in December).

So I have a few questions about your experiences taking the 
college entrance exam.
First, how easy or difficult do you think it was? Is it only 
tested in English and math or other subjects as well? Does it 
require a lot of studying?
Secondly, accommodations.  Did you have to discuss with DSS  your 
required accommodations for taking tests for the entrance exam as 
well as for college classes in general? How would the test be 
provided, like do they have it in Braille or would you need a 
reader?
Also, (this may be a silly question) has it been your experience 
that your school exempt you from taking the entrance exam just 
because of your blindness? Not that I would like to, of course, 
because I'd like to have the most chance of getting accepted to 
my colleges of choices, but I'm just curious and also recent 
discussion on this list about accommodations, or lack thereof, 
that are being provided to blind students, has got me wondering 
this as well.

I hope you guys can answer my questions.

Looking forward to hereing from you, and good night all.

Thanks,

Sami.
