Between the courses, graduate school considerations/applications and necessary moments for free time, my preparations for the GRE continued in spurts through Fall quarter, Christmas break and into the new year. Like many national organizations and institutions, the Educational Testing Service has its policies and procedures for all students to conform to unwaveringly in order to receive their "stamp of approval." First comes the application. Anyone who is blind was instructed to acquire and then fill out the printed document to apply for taking the GRE with accommodations. Never mind we can't do this ourselves. Second, a form for requesting special accommodations had to be completed, properly certified and sent across to the East coast for consideration. Assuming acceptance, a date would be negotiated at the host institution. Such a date was not left to the student to decide. Then came the selection of testing location, a jewel reserved for the need-to-know.
