Hi and welcome to the list Zach.  I think your prepping the 
examiners is a great idea.  This is a great list and full of 
really great people who are even willing to address off topic 
questions usually pertaining to technology and access issues 
about radios but can  branch some times far and wide.  Best to 
try and keep it on the subject of ham radio but that can involve 
many things as well.  Good luck on your exam and welcome to this 
terrific hobby.  73, Jim WA6EKS

Hi all,
My name is Zach, and I'm a ham radio newbie.  I am currently in 
the
process of studying for my technician class license, and will be
taking my test next week.  I've been working through the tech 
manual
for a month or so now, and am greatly looking forward to 
obtaining my
license.
I guess my first question for the list is this.  Is there 
anything I
should do, know, or have prepared going in for the test, being 
totally
blind?
What's the procedure for taking the test itself?  Would it be ok 
to
ask my y-l to write down my answers, or will one of the test 
admins
transcribe it?
I plan to call the testing site and let them know I'm coming to
eliminate any confusion that might happen, but I wanted to write 
the
list first to see what I need to do to prepare myself as best as
possible.
Thanks.  I look forward to getting to know all the folks on this 
list,
and enjoying some great radio talk.

Zach
