[NABS-L] Getting brill math study materials for the GRE

[Tom Brown]

Hello,

I'm assuming you have an ETS account. When you log into your account, look under prep materials and you will see, under accessible formats, all of the options you have. Call ETS disability services and tell them you would like the braille supplements for the math portion of the GRE prep and they should send it to you. I did this a couple of months ago, and they sent me a big box of the tactile graphics that are shown on the print version of the prep.
Also, the calculator used on the GRE is very straight forward. I had no trouble using it during my test. 

Good luck, 

Tom Brown

Anyway, my friend has scanned in a GRE  study book and that seems to be working well on everything but  the math. Fortunately for me, he’s a lot smarter than I am at math. But we both really need some  math braille study materials. I think the GRE  people provide these. However, when I called their disability services number I couldn’t seem to get my request across. All they did was tell me how to apply for accommodations when taking the test. My friend and I are both not ready to take the test. We need to get studying the math.  They also sent me an email link with information but all that did was send me right back to their phone number. I’m not sure what is going wrong but right now I feel like I am going around in circles and in the meantime the math portion of the GRE still awaits us. Any help on how to solve this would be great!!! My question is, how can I obtain braille study materials for the math portion of the GRE. Also, is there anyway to practice with the Calculator they give you before taking the test? Right now, I am using the calculator on my braille note but I gather that I will not be allowed to have that with me when I take the test.
