[nabs-l] Studying for the SAT

[Jameyanne Fuller]

Agree with everything Kartik says. You may have to return the practice tests
on test day, but as I recall it was free and the answers were included. When
I was studying for the GRE, I asked voc rehab if they would be able to get
the math portion of the practice book I wanted in Braille for me. I had to
buy the book, but they did the rest, so I could use the bookshare copy for
the English portions and the braille for the math. That might also be a
possibility for you, but you'd want to get on that ASAP as voc rehab can
sometimes take a while.
