.@il_bar just sent out a Code of Conduct for the remote bar exam.

(If you haven’t received it yet, don’t worry- you know how IBAB’s emails never arrive at the same time for all of us, if they arrive at all).

If anything goes wrong and we fail as a result, we’ll that’s just a shame.

Nothing to be done.

Cool. #ILbarexam #barpocalypse Image
What does P mean? Can we challenge if we are flagged and failed because of testing conditions? If so, how?

And 280 characters is not enough to go into our concerns with ExamSoft’s privacy policy. #ILbarexam #barpocalypse Image
The lack of specificity here is alarming, especially in light of the news that ExamSoft’s tech support can so easily access and view the videos from our mock exams. #ILbarexam #barpocalypse Image
And it’s a contract of adhesion- examinees agree to it by beginning the first exam session and have no way to negotiate the terms 🙃

Examinees take on all the risks, and IBAB takes on none.

🧵 Exam Day Info Thread 🧵

We’ve highlighted some #ILbarexam info for y’all now that we have the protocols.

We’ve also saved off a bunch of the various documents IBAB & ExamSoft have sent to us in one place: bit.ly/3l9J5sN

At the end, there’s a post-exam survey!
‼️ Important Caveat p. 1‼️

We might be wrong with some of our interpretations- the stuff IBAB sent us is not always clear, so if you read something another way or hear something different from your processor, please let us know!

We’ll do our best to update this thread.
‼️ Important Caveat p. 2‼️

Unless things are going massively wrong during the exam, we will not be active on this account during the exam.

We also probably won’t be very active over those two days in general unless things are going very poorly.

🧵: reiterating the point that the @NCBEX and bar examiners like @il_bar have known/should have known that the October 2020 remote bar exam was a VERY risky move for MONTHS + what they can do about it now. 1/n

#barpocalypse #remotebarexam #barexam
On August 6, @Extegrity released a statement through @BarExamTracker saying that it would not participate in the remote bar exam.

Extegrity informed the jurisdictions it had been working with of this on July 27 and the @NCBEX on July 28. #barpocalypse 2/n
On August 4, a week after the @NCBEX learned that one of its 3 approved vendors did not believe that the remote exam was feasible as currently planned, NCBE Trustee/ NCBE's ABA House Delegate Bucky Askew opposed the discussion of/vote on @ABAhod Resolution 10G. #barpocalypse 3/n

.@illinoiscourts @il_bar @2CivilityOrg: your silence throughout all of this speaks volumes. this exam has, is, and will continue to disproportionately affect bar applicants of color. #ILbarexam
30% of Illinoisians are not white. The ARDC tracks age, gender, and years practicing in its annual reports, but not race. Yet we still know that the racial makeup of lawyers in Chicago at least is not representative of the people living there: chicagobusiness.com/article/201712…
@illinoiscourts @il_bar @2CivilityOrg: you are perpetuating this gap. By ignoring the problem, you become part of the problem.
