Hey Tim,
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I will just let you know that it
is in a public testing center. Hoby took the GRE's on a computer with JAWS,
but his was offered at Sacramento State. I asked if they were able to have a
computer with JAWS, and they said they have no computers with any kind of
software on them (Dragon, JAWS, etc.). She told me to take a look at the
sample essay questions because I may be stressing over nothing; the tests I
am taking are Math specific so there is a chance they are easier than a
standard essay. I was just trying to get a feel for what others have done.
Thanks for your response, Joe

Hi Joe,

They are supposed to provide a computer with JAWS under these circumstances.
Is the exam offered at a public testing center?  Give me a call and we can
discuss.  410.415.3493.  Perhaps sending a quick letter from an attorney
would prompt them to provide JAWS on their local computers or make some
other convenient arrangement.

Hey Everyone,

I am trying to take my CSETs and there is an essay portion. I find it really
hard to dictate essays, and their computers don't have screen readers and I
can't bring mine in. I was thinking  of practicing typing with Jaws off and
have the reader read it after and fix my mistakes, but I am curious what
everyone else does for standardized tests. 

Thanks, Joe
