What?

This will definitely be part of the art installation that @MitchellHamline and @NA4ELP are planning for the April 2022 Conference on Bar Licensure Reform (future title TBA).
Those responsible for the Bar Exam need to hear and see these stories.

And the bar examiners should explain if they already had inklings Examsoft would screw it up yet again. Reasonable (read: minimally competent) professionals would have demanded some sort of assurance.

@LizCGil @NA4ELP @ExamSoft 1%…..interesting. I wonder what it is compared to the other years that it crashed. EVERY SINGLE YEAR something happens. Every year. Multi-million dollar contracts with @ExamSoft yet this is as good as it gets. Someone's getting kickbacks.

.@ExamSoft should release all data pertaining to Oct. 2020, Feb. 2021, and July 2021 tech issues (such as the # of technical report tickets issued per jurisdiction, approx. wait time for each issue to get resolved, # of applicants per jurisdiction who had to schedule a makeup etc

What do our consumer law scholars think about this? @ExamSoft promised to deliver a product (the online bar exam), jurisdictions entered into multi-million dollar contracts, applicants paid $130+ (or more, if they bought new computers), and ExamSoft failed to deliver.

Thoughts?

[Luke Perdue @LukePerdue]

@NA4ELP @ExamSoft Examplify crashed during almost every section of the exam, in addition to the long delays when changing questions/opening the notes window. Can you believe they charge students $140 to use such a broken piece of software?

[National Assn. for Equity in the Legal Profession @NA4ELP]

Attention: please contact @sfw70II if you have experienced issues with the online #barexam.
