[NABS-L] Taking the GRE! What were your experiences studying for itand what was it like when you took it?

[Tara Briggs]

Hi Thank you so much for your reply! Who did you say that provides accessible study material? How can I get access to this material? I gather from your message that the math part is not accessible. What I mean is the math study material is not accessible. Or, is it pretty much all the material for the GRE is in accessible except for one specific place? You mentioned taking the test on a computer, how exactly does that work? Did you use a screen reader? I am sorry for my million questions but I really don’t know where to get started or where to turn. My friend mentioned a book that she used to take the GRE. At the time she took it, she was doing her undergraduate degree. So she was able to get the book made accessible to her by her local university. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have the book anymore because it was on her old computer. I’m happy to purchase the book I just want to be able to read what I purchased and printed and I have not gotten along since my birthday in 1982. Anyway thank you so much for any more assistance.
Tara

That means we blind people are at a significant disadvantage when it comes to studying.  I also had trouble with math and didn't do too well, but the actual test taking was pretty straight forward.

Any links would be beyond awesome!! Also, my friend has given me the title of a  book but I’m not sure how to get that book an  an accessible format. Can I go back to my alma mater and make a request from them? I’m not a student there anymore but I was. When it came time to take the GRE what accommodations did you use? How did you get through the math section? That’s the one that is making me the most terrified! Nath and I have been bitter  enemies for years and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Thank you so much for any help!
