Hello! i somehow feel that if the scribe is to be arranged by the authority, the VH candidate should be allowed for the following:
1. the candidate should be asked to come, 10 days, before the exam to test the reading and writing capabilities of the arranged scribe, avoiding, any complaints by the candidate, at the time of the actual exam. 2. if unsatisfied, the candidate should, however have to manage, if he/she is not capable of arranging a better scribe, arranged by the authority. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pamnani" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 15, 2006 5:06 PM Subject: [AI] Writer > Any suggestions? > As you know we are in Court and this matter is sub judice.
