Try calling ETS disability support.  I found them very helpful.

Can someone help me with the requesting accommodations process? I 
have
tried to figure this out on my own, but the GRE accommodations 
process
seems very confusing and unclear to me. I don't know what the 
best way
is to go about getting what I need. I know I can't be the only 
one who
found this very confusing.
Thanks
Laurel

 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,

 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
