[NABS-L] GRE study materials

[Loew, Ruth C]

Hi - I'm with the ETS Office of Disability Policy, and I know many of you from NABS meetings.  I lurk on this list.

I've been following the thread about GRE study materials and using JAWS for math.  The GRE General Test has recently changed to a new delivery platform that is accessible using JAWS, with or without a refreshable braille display.  It is true that JAWS doesn't read all math notation successfully at this point; but for this test, math expressions and figure descriptions are provided in words and numbers for delivery to JAWS.  In addition, for those who read braille and/or use tactile graphics, optional embossed supplements contain the test content of the math sections, including math notation (in Nemeth code) and tactile graphics.  To obtain practice materials, see https://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/prepare/powerprep/practice_test_software."  "Screen Reader and Refreshable Braille Compatibility" is at the bottom of the page.

I hope this information is helpful.  If you have questions, please feel free to contact me.
