Hi All,
I'm prepping like crazy for the SAT, which I will be taking in a few weeks.
I was wondering whether anyone knows where I can obtain hard-copy braille versions of past SAT tests, to use as practice.
The paper braille would be especially helpful in the Math section which contains lots of tactile graphics.
My TVI gave me one, but one practice test certainly isn't enough for a test like this. When I asked her whether more could be obtained, she said that that was not possible.
Any help/info would be much apreciated.
Most students only get one test to practice. That is probably the reason she will not give you another.
If you think about it, you've been doing this stuff all along, or should have been. You've seen a sample test. Now all you need do is apply all that you've learned.
Forereel,
Thanks for the clarification on the practice tests. When you say Most students, do you mean blind or sighted students?
I mean all students.
All are given a chance to see a practice test. They normally get one.
Saying that, it shouldn't be any different for a blind student that has been using braille all the time.
A blind student should know how to read the symbols.
The only different, is a blind student will require more testing time, due to it being slower to read braille, or for a reader to read the questions to you.
This is normally granted.
Forereel, Thanks for the clarification.
Don't stress. You've done it before, so when you have to test, relax.
You know what your doing.
Get to worried about it, and you'll forget how to spell your name. Smile.
I once flunked a test that way.
I could do the stuff in my sleep, but the professor said "play Mary Had A Little Lamb.
" Ah, duh, um, well! How does that go again?
Smile.
You'll do fine.
Peace.
