My experience of this years BSB exams to add to the growing list of complaints. How is this happening? Disgusting!

We are spreading the word about the @TimeToChange #AskTwice Campaign- aimed at getting more men to check in with their mates and show they care. New research shows that 45% of men say they feel more isolated than ever, So if a mate says they're fine, they might not be #AskTwice

[Students Against The BSB Exam Regulations @blwstndrdsbrd]

🌟WAIVE THE CENTRALISED BAR EXAMS 🌟

[Jamie Jones @jamiejones___]

Still not good enough. We are tired now

[Bar Standards Board @barstandards]

Our Director General has today published a further statement about this year’s BPTC exams : https://t.co/KTWbNJf5KQ

[Jamie Jones @jamiejones___]

Another exam, another cock up! Thanks @barstandards and @PearsonVUE for providing us with such a reliable system.
Please find a solution that is at least remotely (pardon the pun) reflective of the time, effort and individual sacrifices we have all made to be here. Shameful

[Harry B @MrHarryBithell]

The way the majority of barristers have treated us future barristers is the best advert for the Bar. In no other profession will you find this level of community and collegiality. Thank you.

[Nick De Marco KC @nickdemarco_]

So many stories about the A-level downgrade fiasco but this one I just read in the Sunday paper sums it up for me. Hard working over achieving kids from under privileged backgrounds being excluded because they had no choice but to go to an under achieving school. #AlevelResults

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

Again, I ask @barstandards - what is going on with the Bar exams? I’ve lost count of the number of tweets like the one below. @PearsonVUE have demonstrated that they are incapable of running a competent online examination system. How is fixing this not a priority?

[Jess Phillips @jessphillips]

So what happens to sexual health, substance misuse strategy, domestic and sexual abuse health strategy?

[Jamie Jones @jamiejones___]

Couldn’t agree more!

[Ginny Dearn @DearnGinny]

The effect of sitting these BSB exams has been mentally, financially and academically exhausting. It has left us unable to earn having worked without a break for 12 months with minimal support from our providers to address the delay between learning content and sitting exams.

@DanielIngham9 @barstandards @PearsonVUE @blwstndsbrd Cheers Dan, hope you have better luck than me!

@barstandards @PearsonVUE @blwstndsbrd

[Jamie Jones @jamiejones___]

@stacey_harriet @barstandards @PearsonVUE @blwstndsbrd Hopefully so with the volume of complaints!

[Jamie Jones @jamiejones___]

@SarahJaneHHH @barstandards @PearsonVUE @blwstndsbrd Thank you, me too! Not good enough at all

[Jamie Jones @jamiejones___]

@JoMoore_ @Charwolfberg @barstandards @PearsonVUE @blwstndsbrd Thank you, me too! And for the many other students too 🤞🏼

[pjm1kbw @pjm1kbw]

Utterly, utterly shameful. How on earth can ⁦⁦@barstandards⁩ seek to justify such outrageous conditions. It beggars belief that the future members of our profession are treated in this way by our regulator. https://t.co/0xM8WkwqaD

[Jamie Jones @jamiejones___]

@avelineng @blwstndsbrd @barstandards @PearsonVUE PSLA and future loss of earnings 😂

[David Green @itsdavegreen]

A sentence I never thought I’d have to write, but here goes:
The professional regulator of the English Bar should not require Bar students to piss in buckets or bottles just so they can complete an exam.
@barstandards

[Students Against The BSB Exam Regulations @blwstndrdsbrd]

THE EXAMS DONT EVEN HAVE THE SAME QUESTIONS AS EACH OTHER
As in, each student is not sitting the same paper 1/3

[BPTC Students @BPTCStudents]

Don’t forget all those A Level, GCSE, & uni students who are having to sit their exams 4 months late, over the summer, unable to drink or use the loo, w/ reasonable adjustments waived, and w/ no resits until Dec... to preserve the integrity of exams.

Oh... wait... just us then?
