How will a TX-only exam differ from the UBE exam that applicants have been studying for? Why should applicants who are without electricity and water be punished with a non-UBE exam that will not be portable in the future? Will these applicants receive a partial refund?
I genuinely think it’s hilarious that my law school was like, hey, we’ll hold a 2020 graduation in the summer! Actually, the fall! And now they’ve just ghosted everyone.
@DiplomaPriv4All @NCBEX @KarenSloanNLJ @JosephPatrice@BLaw@samskolnik This is a fair point. The same health concerns that impacted the late 2020 exams are present in Feb. '21. Subjecting one group of pandemic examinees to a longer exam for the same licensure objective does bring questions.
The NCBE is recommending getting rid of..... every single part of the bar exam. Which is a super weird position to take when just a handful of months ago it was so necessary that people had to risk their lives to take it. 🙃
The @NCBETaskForce has unveiled its recommendations for overhauling the #barexam. It would do away with the MBE, the MEE and the MPT in favor of a more integrated, skills-focused test: https://t.co/G0COOHJ2kw Still a winner-take-all exam after law school, though
“That [@NCBEX’s] knee-jerk reaction to [@IAALS’s] thoughtful, data-driven study is to double-down.. is a testament to how the organization has ceased to take its mandate as a professional licensing body seriously and transitioned fully into a business selling testing materials.”
My guess why az oct bar had such a low passage rate compared to the July bar is that those who were most affected by the pandemic opted for oct. we are one of the few jx who offered an either or option. So this test result really just speaks to privilege. 1/2
The list of successful examinees from the October 2020 remote bar examination is now posted on the Attorney Admissions page. Direct link to the release: https://t.co/KcvrYhQKeG
