[nabs-l] Questions About GRE Testing

[Karl Martin Adam]

Hi James,

I took the GRE last fall and am retaking it in a couple weeks 
because I only got 90% on the math portion, which is considered 
low for my field.  .  I got double time, which I understand is 
the normal accommodation they give.  Tripple time is bordering on 
the ridiculous--that would be ten and a half hours of testing not 
including breaks.  I suggest you get the computer voiced GRE with 
tactile graphics supplement so you don't have to worry about 
diagrams being explained.  Also make sure they send you the 
computer tutorial so you can learn how to use the software and 
built in screen reader ahead of time.

Best,
Karl

Good day.
	 I was wondering if anyone has taken the GRE within the past 
year, used  the read-aloud option, and how much time were 
you able to get accommodated? Double time? Triple time?I 
tried to get triple time because of the time lost having 
various diagrams and instructions explained. Thank you in 
advance for your feedback.
