[humanser] CSW exam

[Ericka]

I was pretty overwhelmed when I took the bachelors exam a few years ago. I am easing late past with just using a large print exam and extra time. That was the dumbest thing I did. I chose this because I don't have computer skills and the last time I used Zoom text or speech I couldn't get the computer print big enough to be comfortable. I totally understand your situation Shari!  I personally don't trust a reader and scribe to be accurate. I like Merrys' suggestions.if you get to choose the reader and scribe, that's one thing but there's so many soft variables here when you don't get to pick that I don't feel you're being tested for your knowledge. You're being tested on whether you can work with someone in a team no matter how competent they are.
