[rehab] [nfbcs] Testing Accommodations

[Curtis Chong]

Greetings:

I believe that even though the test is computerized, it is reasonable to ask
for a braille copy of the questions. This may not be in the current playbook
for the testing organization, but surely some push can be provided to
"encourage" them to do the right thing<smile>.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Hi everyone:

I'm preparing to take a professional examination conducted by PSI. I've 
heard that they bought Pearson View, but unsure about that. The 
accommodations form states that they provide a reader/scribe, but does not 
mention Braille at all. Upon taking the exam, you immediately receive your 
license at the test site. The exam is done via computer instead of paper 
and pencil. However, my concern is that I would not a have a Braille copy 
of the test questions. I believe this is essential since the questions are 
designed to be tricky and need to be read multiple times to ensure the 
correct response is selected. Has anyone (including counselors) requested 
a Braille exam from PSI? If so, did it work out with the computer 
administration?
I apologize if I am posting to the wrong list, so please let me know if 
there is another list where this message could be posted. Thanks.
