Does the Read and Write Gold work with the math placements in Accuplacer?

We did a huge study of this very thing this summer. As of last week I am so
happy to say we are no longer using human readers with Accuplacer. We found
that the only screen reading software that works with Accuplacer is Read
and Write Gold. We decided to purchase 2 licenses that are on USB's so they
can be moved around in the testing center. Feel free to contact me if you
would like to discuss this some more.

Hello: In an effort to eliminate/reduce use of human readers on Placement
Tests, I wanted to know if any of your schools use the Accuplacer test. If
so, what screen reader software have you found to be compatible with it?



Thank you in advance,



Karen
