Obtaining SAT Practice Tests
Hard Copy Braille
According to the College Board Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) Department (844-255-7728), the procedure for ordering hard copy braille practice tests is as follows:
- Contact the SSD coordinator at your school. Note: The College Board provides this guidance to home-schooled students and other students who do not want to go through their school’s SSD office.
- Make certain that the College Board has approved you for the accommodation of hard copy braille testing.
- If you have not already done so, register for the SAT test.
- Request the hard copy braille test through the SSD coordinator.
- The College Board will confirm your eligibility and will send the test to the school for distribution to the eligible student (you).
Note: You may also contact the College Board’s SSD via email.
