[blindkid] readers for the SAT

[Carol Castellano]

Yes, I was really surprised myself.  I was under the impression that 
a reader was only allowed to read the directions and I asked both 
testing company representatives the question as many ways as I could 
think of.  ACT said "as long as they read verbatim" and SAT said they 
can read "all test items and questions" When I asked for 
clarification ("Can they read the reading passages?"), the pleasantly 
surprising answer was that they can indeed read the reading passages 
and take direction from the blind test taker to go back and reread 
the line or lines the test questions refer to.
