[nabs-l] GRE Question

[Loew, Ruth C]

As Mary Fernandez said, I'm with the ETS Office of Disability Policy, and I regularly attend NABS and NFB functions and lurk on this list.

As for registering online:  It's true that so far test takers requesting accommodations can't register on line.  This is because accommodations requests have to be reviewed, which is a separate process.  We're working on an integrated online registration system that will enable test takers needing accommodations to register online, with a "detour" for accommodations review.  I'm not sure when this will be operational, but we know it's a need and we're addressing it.

I think others have answered your original questions, Jordan.  If you have additional questions or want more detail, please feel free to contact me on- or off-list.

Also, I'll be at the Washington Seminar as usual.  Anyone with questions about accommodations for GRE or other ETS tests (TOEFL, Praxis, TExES) is welcome to talk to me there.  See (some of) you then --

> For anyone who has taken the GRE:
> Did you take the computer-based test or the paper-based test?  What's the
> difference?
> Did you get JAWS on the computer-based test?
> What material does the GRE cover?
> How was the test/accommodations regestration process?
> Did you register for the test online? The site says that if one is
> requesting accommodations one cannot.  This seems odd and a little
> discriminatory to me.
> Has NFB in general had any problems with GRE?
