Good afternoon,


I will be filling out paperwork soon for getting things set up for me to 
take the GRE, and I have a few questions I hope you can assist with.

First, is the computerized test able to be taken on a laptop?

I do one handed typing and laptops are best for me.

Second can one use both computerized and braille for the test?

Third, are there ever summer test dates?


thanks,

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.
