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

[Karl Martin Adam]

ETS will send you a calculator ahead of time to practice with.  I 
took the electronic test.  The screen reader is part of the test 
itself not separate.  They will also provide you with a demo of 
the test software including screen reader and a couple practice 
tests so you can familiarize yourself with how it works.

HTH,
Karl

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

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
