[blindlaw] Bar Exam Test Accommodation's

[Jon Schorsch]

Alex,

I am also taking the Washington State Bar exam next month.  I have yet to
receive notification of my accommodations, but do know I requested not to
use Exam Soft because I have found it was not compatible.  
For my exams in law school, the school allowed me to take them on my own
laptop without Exam Soft because of this issue.  I graduated this past
December and do not know if there have been any updates to the program.   

Best of luck and keep us updated on what you find out.  I will do the same.

Hello List 

 

I am taking the California Bar in July.  I received an accommodations letter
granting me the following relevant accommodations for the essay and PT
sections.

1.       My own laptop for use with ExamSoft

2.       Extra time

3.       Jaws Screen reader

 

It is my understanding ExamSoft prevents Jaws and all other software from
running during the testing session.  My information is a few years out of
date.  Is that still true?  If so, How do I reconcile the Jaws and ExamSoft
conflict aspects of my accommodations?  Have any of you   gotten a similar
response?

 

For what it's worth, my request for accommodations packet was complete and
extremely thorough 

Thanks for all your help with this.  

 

Alex
