Actually, I found the one  I needed on the ETS web site.  It's in electronic
format and I have a Braille display, so O wpn't need to do a whole lot more.
I can also scan it through Kurzweil,  save it as an RTF and put it on my
notetaker.

Hi Elizabeth:
What a terrific question you ask. i can only share with you how I prepared
for my state's teacher's exam upon going for my special education degree as
well as how i prepared for my teaching exam when pursuing my degree as a
certified teacherof the blind and visually impaired. In my state, any
general education teacher and special education teacher needed to take two
tesst to receive their license. The firs ttest was known as the ATSW
Assessment of Teaching Skills Written and the second test was LAST Liberal
Arts and Sciennce TEst. Since i was able to receive my special education
license prior to 2004 I was able to teach all grade leveels. Regarding the
practice tests for oth above mentioned tess tI received sample questions for
each test in print and used my stand alone reading machine to scan the
questions and saved the questions as a txt file to read on my note taker. To
prepare for my content specialty test to become a certified teacherof the
blind and visually impaired i also received the sample questions in print
and scanned the questions into my stand alone reading machine and saved the
file as a txt file soI could read on my note taker. The only advice I can
suggest for yourpraxsis exam is to try to get the questions off your state's
education site and since it's a foreign language copy the examples to a
microsoft word document and download a demo version of duxbury that supports
translating french braille. I hope my idea assists you.
