<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'; COLOR: blue">Hi
All, </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'; COLOR: blue">My
10th grader Vejas (braille-reader; no vision) will be taking the both the PSAT
& Pre-ACT in the next 3 weeks – any suggestions on taking the actual test?
Any suggestions on how to best study for these? All the kids got a PSAT
descriptive booklet – we found a PDF of it on the web. The actual Pretest
booklet however seems to only be available in print. Suggestions anyone? Words
of experience & wisdom?</SPAN></P>
