Hi everyone,
Does anyone have experience taking exams with a MacBook using OnVUE by Pearson VUE?
Their check-in and exam simulation process is very accessible. However, things are different when doing the actual exam. VoiceOver didn’t read the actual exam screen at all. It only read the screen that had the chat and whiteboard buttons. It seems that these screens are like tabs in their exam environment and it is not possible to switch between them.
Is there a workaround for that or is it something they need to fix on their end?
Thanks in advance,
Tarja

Can't really help but here is my ¶experience
Pearson (I had a math textbook there) is relatively accessible, but because of the VO model on the web and so many frames in frames... I tried to use Windows whenever i could. Fortunately for me my assignments were done on webwork which has full mathjax support (thanks god it does, long live latek). I have only accessed the question answers module, multiple choice and the thing to enter digits, not this exam thing you are talking about.
Also a tip, try different Browser engines and see where VO behaves most nicely. Chromium, webkit or those of firefox gecko and etc.
