Before You Begin — Virtual Testing Class Supply List

Gather these items before your Virtual Testing Class with Nurse Kathy. Everything on this list can be found around your home — you do not need to purchase anything special. Set them out on a clean flat surface so Nurse Kathy can see them during your session. Do NOT stress over exact supplies — we can improvise!
