[blindlaw] Questions Regarding Bar Exam for Braille Readers

[Tai Tomasi]

Hello all. I just received the contract from my state's bar examiners
listing my approved accommodations for the July exam.  I had requested the
exam in Braille, but that accommodation was not granted. Instead, the exam
will be provided in electronic format. I am uncertain whether I would find
brailled or electronic exam materials most efficient, especially on the
multi-state performance and essay exams. To those of you who have used both
Braille and electronic formats for exams during your education, which do you
think would be most efficient for the bar exam? I would be interested in
hearing from individuals who took the bar exam using Braille and/or
electronic formats. I have just begun my bar prep course, so it is difficult
to decide which might be best at this point. I have taken exams in both
formats throughout my academic career. I am a very fast Braille reader. Any
feedback is appreciated.
 
Best,
