Hi Kuenga,

Your point about changing the wording of a question is absolutely valid.

In some countries, the official braille authority may well make a definitive
statement about such things.

However, world-wide, we have what are known as "Transcriber's Notes".

You can add these before all the questions, explaining how the student
should answer.

Dear All,

I am afraid I was unable to make things clear.

Suppose in a test paper, if there are questions such as circle the correct
answer or tick the correct statement or cross out the false statement. I
have seen some Braille transcribers using choose the correct answer or
rewrite the correct answer or rewrite the false statement. In doing so, I
feel we are altering/tampering the questions.

I was just thinking, why can't we use the shape symbol "ED" sign, Braille
dots 1, 2, 4, 6 and Braille Letter C for circling in front of the statement.
Or, will this be a diversion?

Or, is there a standard rule for questions as such in Braille to be
transcribed?

I hope I have made clear.

Kuenga,

Personally I would suggest labelling the options (perhaps A, B, C.... or
numbering them), providing them in list form, then changing the question
accordingly:

'Choose the correct answer from the four options given labelled A to D'.

Dear List,

In UEB or in any other Braille Literacy, suppose if there are questions of :

1.      Circle the correct answer.
2.      Tick the correct answer or
3.      Cross the mistakes.

How do we do in Braille?

Is it necessary to modify the questions? Or

Do we have Braille symbols for representing the shapes?

Looking forward to hearing soon.
