🧵 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.

.@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).

“favorite” provisions below #ILbarexam #barpocalypse ImageImageImage 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

🧵: 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

.@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…
