Glad to hear Andrew. I haven't actually taken a Microsoft exam in a number of years so I haven't personally dealt with the accommodation process since the mid 2000's. Do the exams work pretty well with a screen reader?

Hi.
Thanks for the actual form, I emailed the guys about this when the survey opened but didn't get a response. This survey is mainly for the accommodation request process which I actually didn't have an issue with myself. Interesting that accommodations for a screen reader can now go through without extra documentation but extra time requires additional documentation. When my accommodation status renews I might try and just go for screen reader support and get rid of extra time because I never used any of the extra time in my exams.
The main issues I am having is actually booking the exam with the accommodations in place, I am talking to someone in Microsoft about this. I have done a few exams now since I got my first in October, I'm on a role.
Andrew.

Hi all:
Earlier I had posted to this group about a survey Microsoft was running regarding accommodation's for certification exams. This survey had been scheduled to end on 12/16, however the date has been extended until 12/31. If anyone is interested, you can take the survey herehttps://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.office.com%2Fr%2FXY7S7JgKL6&data=05%7C01%7Cryshugar%40microsoft.com%7C8d592de93a2846108e0508daea656faa%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C638080018678336977%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=3%2FujdHZHAVNd5%2BiPQUJF20vTeY9gju1Aa31pzFTPjQ0%3D&reserved=0. My apologies for the late notice of the extension, I have been on vacation for the past few weeks. If there are any accessibility issues taking the survey, please reach out to the Enterprise Disability Answer Deskmailto:edad@microsoft.com for assistance.
Thanks a lot.
