[nabs-l] accomodations for the GRE

[Roper, Meaghan]

Hi Daniel,

I recently applied for accommodations for the GRE exam back in June. It's important that you know that it takes approximately six weeks for Pearson to respond regarding your accommodations.

You can pretty much just Google requesting accommodations for the GRE exam, and follow the first link that you find on Google. The documentation is really simple, and you need one of the sections filled out by your DSS person at your college or university.

I requested 50% more time which is standard for persons with visual impairments, as well as having the test administered on a desktop rather than in print. There is a list of available accommodations for persons with visual impairments available on the website. Unfortunately I believe these are listed in a PDF document, so you will have to run it through OCR or something to be able to read the document. It's about 25 pages long, and if I remember correctly the accommodations request form is located on pages 14 through 22 of the PDF document.

I hope that helps.

Best,

Meaghan
