With the POWERPREP^® practice tests (free POWERPREP^® Online and POWERPREP PLUS^® Online), you'll experience a simulation of the actual computer-delivered GRE^® General Test that includes the test-taker friendly design features you'll encounter on test day, like moving back and forth between questions and changing answers within a section. The practice tests also provide the following accommodations that simulate the experience of testing with accommodations:

• Powerprep 2 For Mac Pro
• Powerprep 2 For Mac Pc

• extended time
• extra breaks
• screen magnification
• selectable colors
• screen reader and refreshable braille compatibility

May 08, 2013 Open the POWERPREP II group, and click Launch POWERPREP II. When the web browser opens to the POWERPREP II Software page, review the instructions for using the software. If a Windows security message appears, right click the message and choose Allow Blocked Content.

• If you normally use screen magnification software, it will not work with the practice test in the GRE POWERPREP II software. Get the ZoomText Software. Note: If you are a Mac® user who needs screen color or magnification accommodations, you will need to use your own screen color and/or magnification software when taking a practice test.
• And as with PowerPrep II for Windows, the Mac version gives you the ability to review incorrect questions (a great learning tool!) after you’ve completed the test. So to my fellow Mac users and seekers of higher education: put down the earl grey latte, take out your headphones, and give up your much sought-after seat at the coffee house.
