[NOBE-L] Taking A Test Through Pearson

[Hope Paulos]

Good afternoon. I have taken many tests through Pearson. I actually took the
Massachusetts test for educator licensure (MTEL) online. When you register
for your test through Pearson, you'll need to make sure to request for
accommodations. When you do this, make sure you ask for double time, use of
a screen reader and Braille display (if you use one) and reader/recorder--
just in case the technology doesn't behave.
Once you do this, you won't have to run the software you mentioned. When I
took my exams online through Pearson, they used Microsoft Teams. They had me
share my screen as well as have my screen reader routed to the speakers so
they can hear it. I had my video on so they could see me. Everything was
read correctly with my screen reader and the people you will be dealing with
are extremely nice. 
I hope this helps.
Hope

Subject: [NOBE-L] Taking A Test Through Pearson

Hello All:

 

I am preparing to take a teacher certification test through Person.  I will
be taking it online.  Has anyone had experience doing this or taking any
other online test through Pearson?  I'm a little concerned about the
accessibility of the testing software they are requiring me to use.  I ran a
simulation of it on my computer and my computer met the requirements but
when I actually opened the software to do a test simulation it appeared to
be inaccessible.  

 

I am also required to take four pictures of my test area and want to make
sure I'm not going to run into any access issues there.  I'm going to be
stressed out enough on test day and want to solve any access issues I need
to take care of before my test day which is October 9.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Dennis
