[nfbcs] A+ Certification

[Bryan Schulz]

Hi,

I explained it before and you still don't understand what a time limit is.
Even with being allowed double time, you won't be able to complete both
exams because of the interface even if allowed to install jaws which isn't
an option.
Depending on how much you study, both exams can be passed with only normal
time and a reader.
What type of jobs do you hope to apply for?
Obtaining a+ didn't help one bit to obtain a help desk position.
Bryan

Hello everyone:

I will be applying to take the A+ certification exam.  I know I asked about
this a while back.  Someone responded and told me that the only
accommodation that they will offer for this exam is a human reader, which to
me is not acceptable.  I would prefer to take the exam on a computer with
JAWS/NVDA.  I know this same issue was brought up with the BAR exam and it
was solved through litigation.  I am prepared to raise the same stink in
regards to blind people receiving fair and just accommodations.  I would
like your opinions - is it worth it?  Why wasn't the decision on the BAR
exam case binding on other testing companies?  If I did succeed in being
able to take the exam on the computer with a screen reader, would the exam
be accessible?  I look forward to your responses.  I'm getting pretty damn
fed up with the belief that a human reader is providing equal access.

On the other hand, there is part of me that just wants to take the exam and
get it over with...
