I am about to undertake one of my most difficult challenges as a blind person. I am sitting for the Clinical Social Work exam. The challenge part is not the test itself, although that will be difficult with some unfamiliar person reading the examination to me. The real test, in this instance, is how to actually study for the exam itself.
One issue is that there will be a specific timeframe in which I have to get this done. The other problem is that I have not come across any accessible study guides. There is one you can do online, but I am unclear if it is accessible and the cost is a bit more than I can manage, $149 a month.
The only option that I can figure out is to have sighted people read stuff into a recorder, along with having people administer practice tests to me. It does not help, of course, that few people I know actually live remotely close to my condo. If anyone has any ideas that I may have missed, or would be willing to help, please let me know.
Shawn, I’ll help. Do you have any idea of how many chapters or pages will need to be read, in total? I forwarded this to a pastor friend who maybe can find some volunteers through church, if you don’t find people on your own.
Thanks Beth! Right now, I need to research study guides as of course they do not give you one. I appreciate your help! I will see who can help and figure out a good study guide that hopefully is not 9,000 pages in length.
Knowing the number of pages will help define how many readers you’ll need. So get that taken care of so that when people respond to this post you can start organizing more effectively. Team!
