[Pibe-division] Taking a Pearson Test

[Bryan Schulz]

Hi,

I think there was wording and a link on the publisher's site.
It basically said for assistance or if you have difficulty accessing our site, use xyz link.
You can also use the contact us link and explain the need for a digital version of the book.
You may have to sludge through a pdf but it's better than nothing.
The simulation software will not be usable no matter your request and if a person tried to perform the exam while using jaws, they would only complete at most half of the questions.
Bryan

So you contacted the publisher in order to get the digital text?  Do you contact a general number at the publisher or is there some specific department you would recommend?  A few of the study guides are on Bookshare but they lack the interactive test taking component, of course.

Pearson hired a reader who arrived on time and was very professional.  My son tells me that the reader did a very good job and was easy to work with (grammar apologies).  The people at the testing facility were polite and helpful.  The exam was a bear.  Turns out that there were a few gaps in David’s knowledge so he did not pass this time.  It is interesting to note that you can get this test with a “free” retake so that is the next order of business.  Seems that retakes are a common occurrence with this exam. Hopefully it will take way less than the 6 months it took to schedule the exam the first time.

It’s like the SAT or CPA exam—you may know a lot about the subject but the way it is presented in the exam is challenging.  Unfortunately the online materials are not accessible.  I have become the designated accessibility tool for his studies.
