[NABS-L] Taking the GRE

[Karl Martin Adam]

Hi Kei, ETS produces pretty good study materials themselves.  You 
can take the test in Braille or on the computer or on the 
computer but with tactile graphics, which is what I did.  The 
computer version comes with their own screenreader, so they'll 
send you a copy of their software with a couple practice tests 
and a tutorial, so make sure you practice with them.  On the 
accessibility part of their website, there are documents 
explaining what you need to know for each part of the test.  The 
math one is pretty good and covers all the math you need (when I 
took it six years ago, it was arithmetic, basic algebra, 
geometry, and statistics, but it may have changed, so don't quote 
me on that).  Make sure you talk to the accessibility people as 
soon as possible, because it can take a while to go through the 
process, and then you need to schedule an accessible test 
administration, which has fewer possible dates than the standard 
test.  I also recommend doing it early enough that you can retake 
if you have to.  I had to take it twice.

HTH,
Karl

Subject: [NABS-L] Taking the GRE

Hello NABS,
Hope everyone is doing well. I'm applying to a masters degree 
program
that requires I take the GRE and honestly I don't even know where 
to
start studying/preparing. Do you have any tips or tricks for 
someone
who has terrible test anxiety and not the best braille skills. 
Math
isn't my strong suit either so I'm a bit worried about taking the 
GRE.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Kei
