As one would imagine, the bar exam was not fun. But for me, even worse than studying for the exam, and taking the exam, was waiting for the results. I felt completely helpless. I took the July bar exam and had to wait until November for the results. Yes, that's four months.
I know many people who opted to take the essay portion of the bar exam on the computer. At the time I sat for this exam, it was not an option for everyone. I considered it. However, the technology was so new that I thought that a good old pen and paper was much more reliable.
Last week bar examiners in New York reported a "sofware glitch" that caused test takers to experience problems saving and uploading essays. According to this article http://www.abajournal.com/weekly/ny_bar_essays_recovered students were having problems uploading the essays and the Board of Law Examiners was trying to determine if any essays were lost. Apparently, test takers will be emailed when their essays are located.
Even though it’s been a few years since I played the bar exam game, the memory of the event is still fresh in my head. I really hope everything works out for those affected. Although I know the helpless feeling is hard to shake.
