[NABS-L] IELTS Pointers

[Rahul Bajaj]

Hi Everyone,

I'll be giving the IELTS soon and wanted to connect with someone who may have given it before. I wanted to find out what accommodations they obtained and how best to give the test with a scribe. I am particularly struggling with the reading section, as I keep forgetting a lot of information and often run out of time in solving passages. It's also very hard to locate specific pieces of information in such a large body of text, in part because you cannot quickly skim through stuff with a reader and writer.

One option is to give the test with a screen reader which seems to have been recently introduced. The difficulty with that, however, is that jaws often stops speaking, so I am worried that will result in the wastage of time. Tech is not so reliable. Other blind people I know have given the test with a writer.

Best,
Rahul
