Zach,
Welcome to the group. When I took the tests the VE read the questions and
the possible answers to me. When I decided on an answer he filled in the box
on the answer sheet for me. Everyone was very helpful.
Good Luck

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
