[nabs-l] GRE materials, question about one of the responses

[Annis, Tara]

Hello,

 I'm planning on taking the GRE too, so am glad someone has posed these questions.  For the person who answered about  using a talking calculator provided by ETS: did you get it the day of the test?  I just wondered how easy it  was to learn to use in a short time period.  I thought about requesting to bring my own calc but wasn't sure if this was allowed since I worried about having to memorize the layout of the ubttons of the one ETS provides.  Also, a second question:  how did you all write down the answers for verbal and math?  Did you type them on the laptop as you did for the essays?  Also, it is correct that a blind person should take the paper test, correct; I  would guess the new, electronic    test would not work well with a screen reader, especially the math portion.
For those who did take the paper test, how long did it take to get your scores back?
Lastly, good luck  to those who are planning to take.  I agree that the study materials provided by ETS are good as are the Bookshare materials, that is, the verbal portions as someone else pointed out.  I haven't found any math ones on Bookshare yet.


Thanks,
Tara
